Stoltenberg Confirms $43 Billion NATO Aid Package For Ukraine

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed that the alliance will provide 40 billion euros ($43 billion) in military aid to Ukraine in 2025. He told a news conference in Brussels that NATO leaders will "reaffirm their determination to support Ukraine" at a Washington summit on July 9-11. Stoltenberg has pressed for a multiyear commitment from the alliance on aid to Ukraine, but the current package will be reevaluated the following year, officials said. Separately, a senior U.S. official told reporters in Washington that NATO allies will present a "bridge-to-membership" scenario for Ukraine at the summit.
