NATO is preparing new aid for Ukraine, amounting to additional billions, stated NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte after a conversation with US President Donald Trump.
According to Rutte, the US and NATO are growing stronger, and NATO members are rapidly increasing defense investments.
"Big increases announced and others to follow. On Ukraine, Allies are preparing billions more in aid + contributions to security guarantees," he noted.
NATO's support for Ukraine
The alliance has been assisting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. In mid-2024, NATO pledged €40 billion in aid for Ukraine in 2025.
Additionally, further assistance in 2025 was not ruled out. Many NATO member states agreed to provide more support.
Notably, Trump previously called Ukraine’s NATO membership impractical and recently advised Ukraine to forget about joining NATO.
