Germany and other G7 countries in June struck a preliminary deal to use the value of some $300 billion of Russia?s sovereign assets immobilized in Western financial institutions to secure a $50 billion loan to Ukraine.

Berlin, which is Europe's main supplier of military aid to Kyiv, had already signaled a change in course on Ukraine last month, when the governing coalition of the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Liberals adopted a preliminary deal on a draft budget for 2025. The compromise seen by POLITICO detailed plans to slash future assistance to Ukraine by half to ?4 billion to fulfill other spending priorities.
