NATO allies agreed Wednesday they should aim to provide at least €40 billion ($43 billion) in military aid for Ukraine per year, but refrained from explicit pledges for the years ahead, according to alliance diplomats.
The outcome undercuts their aim of providing Kyiv with more predictability over expected aid. Despite initial enthusiasm for a multi-year funding proposal by outgoing NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, several allies found it politically and legally challenging to commit to the precise figure for future years.
