NATO Foreign Ministers In Brussels To Discuss €100 Billion Military Fund For Ukraine | Russia War

Stoltenberg declined to comment on proposals reported by multiple diplomats that he has proposed military support for Ukraine worth €100 billion ($108 billion) over the next five years. The aim is reportedly to have an aid package finalized in time for a NATO summit which will be held in Washington in July. A German foreign ministry spokesperson confirmed that the proposals would be discussed throughout the two-day meeting chaired by Stoltenberg. The proposals received support from the foreign ministers of NATO members Latvia and Poland, whose countries both share borders with Russian territory. Latvia’s Krisjanis Karins said the proposal could be funded if allied members committed “a certain percentage of GDP.“ That call was backed by the UK foreign secretary David Cameron who said upon arrival at the meeting that it was “vital that Britain and [NATO] get the weapons and support Ukraine needs“ by committing “two percent“ of GDP.
