NATO is discussing a new military aid package worth 70 billion euros for Ukraine.
The issue of supporting Ukraine is expected to be one of the main topics of the NATO summit, which will take place on July 7–8.
NATO countries are considering the possibility of adopting a new 70 billion euro military aid commitment for Ukraine. This initiative could be announced at the alliance's upcoming summit in Ankara next month.
According to Politico, citing NATO diplomats, the report states that the proposal, put forward by Germany, also includes a new mechanism aimed at strengthening control and transparency over the funds allocated to Ukraine.
The initiative is being discussed against the backdrop of objections from some countries that the costs of supporting Kyiv are not being distributed equally.
Under the proposal, 30 billion euros of the 70 billion euros would come from the European Union's previously approved 90 billion euro loan program, while the remaining 40 billion euros would be formed through bilateral commitments from NATO members.
As Russia's large-scale war against Ukraine enters its fifth year, NATO allies are discussing the issue of continuing support for Kyiv. During the administration of US President Donald Trump, new military aid to Ukraine was nearly halted, and Washington is currently selling weapons to Kyiv that are largely funded by other allies.
In a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on European countries to increase the supply of missiles for Patriot air defense systems. According to him, the depletion of existing reserves is affecting the delivery process.
According to the Kiel Institute, European countries provided an average of 2 billion euros per month in military aid to Ukraine from January to April 2026. No new military aid from the United States was recorded during this period.
The issue of supporting Ukraine is expected to be one of the main topics of the NATO summit scheduled for July 7-8. According to diplomats, a final decision could be made after the meeting of NATO defense ministers.
