The NATO bloc is facing a shortfall of about 7 billion euros earmarked for military aid to Ukraine in 2026. The shortage arose against the background of calls from Kiev to increase the supply of air defense systems, writes Politico, citing three sources from among the diplomats of the allied countries. In July, 32 NATO countries agreed to allocate 70 billion euros to Ukraine in 2026 and the same amount in 2027. The reasons for the current shortage are still unclear. One of the alliance's diplomats noted that there is a "certain fatigue" among the biggest donors. It is expected that the issue of funding will be discussed on November 17 at a meeting of the representatives of the allied countries. RBC channel in "Max".
