NATO's secretary general wants the alliance to manage Ukraine aid, shielding it from change that could come with a Trump reelection.
Stoltenberg proposes a 100 billion euro NATO package for Ukraine. Plan envisages NATO taking over part of the coordination work from the US-led so-called Ramstein Group. The aim is to put together a package before the NATO summit in Washington in July. So far, the defense alliance has limited itself to supplying non-lethal materials to Ukraine, fearing that a more direct role could trigger an escalation of tensions with Russia. Most of its members supply Ukraine with weapons on a bilateral basis. The EU also finances arms deliveries.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday that the alliance must provide Ukraine with more systematic military support over a longer period, and that Kyiv's membership of the alliance is a matter of "when, not if."
NATO is considering a proposal that would shield support for Ukraine from “the winds of political change.” The plan comes with its own risks.
