What happened
The Kiel Institute for the World Economy published a study finding that Germany's reported €100 billion in support since 2022 was misleading regarding bilateral aid to Ukraine. The institute determined that only €41.7 billion qualified as actual bilateral aid, while €35.9 billion was spent within Germany.

Why it matters
The study indicates that a large portion of the funds classified as civilian assistance remained in Germany, with only €7.4 billion in civilian support actually reaching Ukraine. This scrutiny challenges the government's classification of aid and its fiscal transparency.
