NATO pledges €70 billion in military aid to Ukraine
The pledge includes €30 billion from a European Union loan and keeps support at comparable levels in 2027, NATO said.
- NATO member states pledged at least €70 billion in military assistance for Ukraine this year at the Ankara summit on Wednesday, committing to maintain comparable support levels in 2027.
- The funding package includes a €30 billion European Union loan, with the remaining €40 billion provided through bilateral support from allies, largely reflecting pledges made at the 2024 Washington summit.
- President Donald Trump halted direct military donations to Ukraine upon returning to office, leaving the United States unable to participate in the funding and forcing European allies and Canada to shoulder the burden.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy participated on Tuesday in the Defense Industry Forum, arguing that Ukraine's integration into NATO would strengthen the alliance's defensive capability against Russia.
- Leaders retained language describing Russia as a threat to Euro-Atlantic security, emphasizing that support must remain equitable, predictable, and sustainable over the long term as the invasion enters its fourth year.
