7, citing unnamed sources from the budget committee. Germany's three-party governing coalition collapsed on Nov. 6 after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that he had dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner.Such a move will likely propel the country into a snap election in the near term, as it is unlikely that Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SDP) will have enough votes to pass next year's budget.The funds for Ukraine are mainly committed appropriations and can be allocated under provisional budget management if the budget is not passed, four sources told Reuters.The likely delay in the budget means no spending on new projects, although some expenses, such as increased aid to Ukraine, may still pass.In February, Germany's parliament approved the country's budget for this year, including 7.6 billion euros ($8.2 billion) in military assistance for Kyiv.
