No. Read the article instead just spewing opinions and conspiracy theories.

It's about national debt and changing the financing of aid to Ukraine.

Nothing is halted. Future aid will not be financed by the federal budget, but from proceeds of seized russian assets.

Which is a FRACTION of what German aid was. Germany has spending around $10Bn in aid to Ukraine annually and there is only $4Bn worth of Russian assets in Germany. And not all assets have been seized. It's also only generating, at most $1Bn in interest annually. So they can send the interest to Ukraine, or they can seize 100% of the principal and send that to Ukraine and then it's over, because the assets will be gone. Either way, it's tantamount to the end of Germany aid.
