Politico: NATO lacks 7 billion euros to help Ukraine.
In July, the alliance's 32 member states agreed to provide Kiev with 70 billion euros in military spending in 2026 and an equivalent amount in 2027. But now NATO is facing a shortage of funds. This could make it difficult for Ukraine to acquire equipment to repel Russian missiles and UAVs in the winter.
Now this issue will be discussed at the alliance meeting on November 17. NATO said its allies "continue to provide Ukraine with vital military assistance" and are "working to ensure Ukraine has support now and in the future," Politico reported, citing three alliance diplomats.
At the same time, the lack of funds reflects the increasing difficulties of the allied countries in financing Ukraine - the US and EU countries, according to a NATO diplomat, have accumulated "a certain fatigue".
