Germany's coalition government and the conservative CDU/CSU alliance on Sunday agreed on the details of a €100 billion ($107 billion) boost to the country's military spending.
After more than three hours of talks in Berlin, both sides finalized the plan to create a special fund for the armed forces.
Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht called it an "urgently needed step." In a statement posted to Twitter, she said: "Finally, we can equip our troops as they deserve and as they urgently need to ensure national and alliance defense."
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also called the special fund "a huge step" for the security of Germany and Europe. "With 100 billion, we ensure that the Bundeswehr can fulfill its defense mission better than ever before," he wrote on Twitter.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has welcomed the agreement. It is "a good compromise, one in which we ensure that NATO can rely on us," she said on German public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk on Monday.
The proposal needed a two-thirds majority in both parliamentary chambers, so Chancellor Olaf Scholz sought pre-approval from the center-right opposition parties.
The massive investment in the German armed forces was sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

However the US "deep state" (Peter Dale Scott) is defined its influence over Germany seems to be apparent by now with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz blaming Russia for the food crisis. Anything else Germany that flipped on Russia would like to blame on the Russians as Germany's Scholz is confident Russia will not win the war in Ukraine? Germany's Scholz is now blaming Russia while western ports block Russian ships from docking. Whatever happened in Germany with Gerhard Schröder's relationship with Russia came to an end and now it is looking as though Russia and Germany are headed towards confrontation with this recent announcement to drop €100 billion on the German army. The Germans are even stripping Gerhard Schröder of his €400,000 worth of state privileges that go with his former office. There was absolutely no way the UK and the US were going to allow a German-Russian alliance matching Germany's industrial capacity with Russia's resources beginning with Nord Stream 2.
The Russian "special operation" in Ukraine is in fact about Germany:
This news source is US CIA:
Who is playing who here in this providing weapons to Kiev?
How long are we going to be forced to stare into the abyss of killing in Ukraine?
Here we go again...
