We have seen that the United States spent six months negotiating additional aid to Ukraine. We have also seen that some promises made by allies have not been fulfilled. If we turn this from a voluntary contribution into a commitment, the supply will become more reliable and larger
The supply of weapons will be coordinated by structures under the leadership of Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli. According to Stoltenberg, the allies provide Ukraine with 40 billion euros worth of military support annually. He said that this level should be maintained “as long as necessary” for Ukraine's victory.
