NATO seeks to ‘Trump-proof’ aid for Ukraine with fund

STORY: NATO foreign ministers met on Wednesday (April 3) to discuss a proposal for a 100 billion euro ($107 billion) five-year fund.

It is a plan seen as a way to “Trump-proof” aid for Ukraine.

The proposals would give the Western alliance a more direct role in coordinating the supply of arms, ammunition and equipment to Kyiv as it fights Russia’s invasion, diplomats say.

Speaking before the meeting, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the proposal aims to send the message to Russia that it cannot win the war.

What is obvious is that we need new and more money for Ukraine. And we need it over many years. And the whole idea of now discussing a framework, commitments and an institutionalized framework for the support is to ensure more predictability and more confidence that the money will come every month, every year for the long haul.”
