Olaf Scholz , the German chancellor, told his defence minister that there would be no money available for further military aid.

Boris Pistorius , the defence minister, had written up a wish list for 4 billion ( 3.4 billion ) in additional military supplies to Ukraine .

But a letter sent to him by the finance ministry made clear that no extra money would be freed up because of the need to cut federal spending.
