German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is facing sharp political criticism after reports that Germany is funding 50,000 FPV strike drones for Ukraine in a deal worth approximately €90 million. The package, involving Ukrainian drone maker SkyFall and U.S. defence technology firm Auterion, marks one of the largest known Western-funded drone purchases for Kyiv. Opposition party AfD has accused the Merz government of prioritising military aid for Ukraine over domestic spending as Germany grapples with budget pressures. The drone deal has intensified debate over Berlin's Ukraine policy, defence spending and political priorities as the Russia-Ukraine war continues. #germany, #merz, #afd, #ukraine, #russia, #ukrainewar, #germanynews, #berlin, #drones, #fpvdrones, #militaryaid, #europe, #nato, #putin, #zelensky, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #timesnowworld, #russiaukrainewar Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.t
