NATO reaffirms strong support for Ukraine and pledges €70 billion in military aid for 2026 and 2027.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte attended a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing in Paris, co-chaired by leaders from France, the UK, and Germany, alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The meeting underscored NATO's unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, following a recent summit in Ankara where allies pledged 70 billion euros in military equipment, assistance, and training for Ukraine this year and at least the same amount in 2027. Rutte urged continued donations to strengthen Ukraine's air and missile defense in response to recent Russian attacks on Kyiv.
