German Chancellor Shultz had some quite interesting comments yesterday.
To summarize, he said Germany now recognizes the gravity of the situation, how it is essential that Ukraine prevail, and that means more German military and financial support for Ukraine. This likely also means further divestiture from Russian energy.
I don't know if this will have a significant impact on the ground or not, but in terms of political will, it seems like it is meaningful. Having Germany "all-in" on Ukraine is important, IMO.
