NATO plans to allocate €40 billion in aid for Ukraine

NATO members have agreed to fund military aid for Ukraine with €40 billion next year. Alliance leaders plan to sign this commitment next week in Washington.

Reuters reports this with reference to information received from a Western European diplomat.

The agency recalls that earlier NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg asked member states to keep up military aid to Ukraine at the same level as in the years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 - at about 40 billion euros a year.

Earlier we wrote that Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin said that the U.S. would soon announce the transfer of $2.3 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine as part of another military aid package. The package will include anti-tank weapons, as well as missiles for the Patriot and other air defense systems.
