NATO defence ministers convened Thursday in Brussels to discuss a fresh strategy aimed at providing long-term security assistance and military training to Ukraine amidst the ongoing Russian invasion. Hungary has agreed not to veto the proposal on the condition that it will not be forced to participate involuntarily.
The ministers are engaged in two days of talks, which are the last high-level meetings before a significant summit hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden in Washington from July 9-11. Expectations are high for the announcement of renewed financial support for Ukraine during the summit.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized the need for predictability in weapon supply and funding for Ukraine's armed forces to avoid gaps and delays. The meeting also discussed the role of NATO's command structure and budget in coordinating this support.
