  • NATO has agreed to allocate 140 billion euros to Ukraine over the next two years, without direct U.S. financial participation.
  • The decision was announced at a summit in Ankara, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet with Donald Trump.
  • NATO countries are also placing a joint order for new Patriot missiles for Ukraine directly from U.S. factories.

NATO has reached a significant agreement to provide Ukraine with 140 billion euros in aid over the next two years, a move that will proceed without direct financial contributions from the United States. This decision was formalized during a summit currently underway in Ankara, signaling continued international support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict.

The summit is also anticipated to host a high-profile meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Such a meeting could offer insights into potential future political dynamics and support mechanisms for Ukraine, particularly given Trump's past skepticism regarding extensive foreign aid.

In addition to financial commitments, NATO members are coordinating a substantial joint procurement of new Patriot missile systems. These advanced air defense systems will be ordered directly from U.S. manufacturers, aiming to bolster Ukraine's defensive capabilities against aerial threats. The summit's outcomes are being discussed with Eitvydas Bajarลซnas, representative of the Confederation of Lithuanian Industrialists in Brussels and former Lithuanian ambassador to Russia and Britain.
