Wed Feb 05 2025
NATO has a big plan to support Ukraine. All 32 allies have promised 41. 6 billion USD to keep Ukraine safe. This money will arrive by the end of 2025. NATO Deputy Secretary-General Radmila Shekerinska spoke about this promise at a meeting in Brussels. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna also attended and talked about the situation at the front lines. Talking about the war, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte saidthat if things do not go well for Ukraine, it could cost trillions of dollars just to get NATO's credibility back. However, the future of the U. S. military aid to Ukraine is uncertain because the Trump administration has been critical of NATO members and their spending. The announcement of the pledge comes during the fourth year of the war in Ukraine. This war started by Russia. The news was welcomed by Ukraine. The backing for Ukraineis a huge boost for the NATO alliance. Some discussion have started about the future of European defense. People in NATO countries have been debating this. Baltic countries Lithuania and Estonia have decided to spend 5% of their GDP on military. This shows a serious commitment to defense.
