New NATO aid for Ukraine — first details
As insiders learned, this decision will provide for a new mechanism to increase the transparency of Ukraine's financing.
Some members of the Alliance have complained many times that they allocate much more to support Kyiv than other countries.
It is also indicated that NATO leadership is determined to obtain a firm commitment from Turkey to continue providing important support to Ukraine "on a sustainable and more equitable basis."
All these issues will be in the spotlight during the Alliance leaders' summit on July 7-8.
The Ambassador of Ukraine to NATO, Alena Hetmanchuk, has already commented on this matter.
According to her, all new commitments should be focused on Ukraine's priorities.
First of all, we are talking about strengthening air defense, investments in the production of drones and missiles, as well as extended-range ammunition.
Until Ukraine receives effective security guarantees, we can only rely on financial guarantees provided by our partners, explained Alena Getmanchuk.
