NATO has taken on the coordination of Western military aid to Ukraine.
NATO has taken on the coordination of Western military assistance to Ukraine. This move is widely viewed as a way to safeguard the support mechanism from the skepticism towards NATO expressed by the incoming U.S. President Donald Trump. This was reported by Reuters. However, diplomats acknowledge that transferring authority to NATO may have limited impact, considering that under Trump, the U.S. could still significantly reduce its support for Ukraine. The United States remains the dominant force in the alliance, providing the largest portion of military aid to Kyiv. Trump, who will assume the presidency on January 20 of next year, has expressed a desire to quickly end the conflict in Ukraine. The headquarters of the new NATO mission in Ukraine, NSATU, is located at Clay Barracks, an American base in Wiesbaden, Germany. In previous years, the coordination of Western military supplies to Ukraine was managed by the Ramstein group, which included approximately 50 countries and was led by the U.S. Meetings of the Ramstein group were held at the U.S. airbase in Germany, which inspired the name for the international assistance group for Kyiv.
