NATO Vows Long-Term Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Russian Threats
April 3, 2024NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg commits to more consistent and long-term military support for Ukraine amid Russian aggression.
Plans are in place to transition from short-term offers to sustained long-term commitments through the coordination of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
The initiative could involve up to $100 billion and aims to receive endorsement at the July summit by U.S. President Joe Biden and other leaders.
Previous Western pledges of aid to Ukraine have faced issues, with crucial financial aid blocked in the U.S., prompting Stoltenberg to call on Congress to pass the necessary funding.
Uncertainty looms over the potential impact of a Donald Trump return to U.S. presidency on NATO and Ukraine, a concern discussed at the recent NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels.
