Reuters: NATO agrees to provide $43 billion in aid to Ukraine

Reuters reported this citing two Western European diplomats, Ukrinform reported.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had asked allies to make a multi-year commitment to keep military aid for Kyiv at the same level as that since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, adding up to about 40 billion euros a year.

The financial pledge is part of a broader Ukraine package that NATO leaders will agree when they gather for the Washington summit from July 9 to 11.

Allies also decided to have two reports over the next year to establish which country supplies what to Ukraine, the diplomat said, to meet demands for more transparency over the burden sharing in the alliance.

As reported by Ukrinform, on June 14, NATO defense ministers, who concluded a two-day meeting at the Alliance headquarters, agreed on a long-term plan to help Ukraine and train the Ukrainian military, but did not agree on regular financial contributions.
