Since the beginning of April 2025, a number of European countries have announced military aid packages. For example, on 1 April, during a visit to Kyiv, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock announced a military aid package totalling €11.25 billion. According to her, €3 billion will be allocated for short-term support, and another €8.25 billion for military assistance until 2029.
The German government will also provide €130 million for humanitarian and stabilisation projects.
On 3 April, Denmark announces the 25th aid package for Ukraine, worth DKK 6.7 billion (almost $970 million). The new package provides military support to Ukraine for 2025-2027 and is financed by the Ukraine Fund.
The key elements of the package include air defence, artillery and financial support for the Ukrainian Air Force.
Norwegian Minister of Finance Jens Stoltenberg said that the Norwegian government had agreed to increase its support for Ukraine by another 50 billion kroner (approximately $4.6 billion) in 2025. This will bring the total amount of aid to 85 billion kroner ($7.8 billion).
On 6 April, Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever said that his country would provide a €1 billion military aid package for Ukraine. It is noted that Brussels plans to help Ukraine build more self-defence capabilities and prepare Europe for possible aggressive actions by Russia.
During the "Ramstein" meeting, it became known that Germany has handed over 30 missiles for Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine and is preparing a large-scale military aid package, including air defence systems, armoured vehicles, drones and ammunition. Lithuania plans to provide €20 million in support to Ukraine for the purchase of ammunition.
Norway will help equip AFU brigades with modern weapons, armoured vehicles and other technological solutions, and is ready to allocate significant funds for the purchase of ammunition under the "Czech initiative".
