BERLIN (Reuters) - Part of the 100 billion euros ($110 billion) pledged by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to boost defences may be used to support foreign security forces such as Ukraine with equipment and training, according to a draft law agreed by the government.

"The projects (that can be invested in) comprise measures... designed to equip and strengthen security forces of partners," the draft law aiming to enable the government to set up the special fund says.
