NATO Takes Charge: Coordinating Arms Deliveries to Ukraine

NATO will take over from the U.S. in coordinating arms deliveries to Ukraine, a strategic move to maintain military aid amidst Donald Trump's potential second term bid. The plan, expected to be approved in a Brussels meeting, also includes a long-term financial commitment to Ukraine.

NATO is set to take over the coordination of arms deliveries to Ukraine from the U.S., the alliance's chief said on Wednesday, in a bid to safeguard the military aid mechanism as NATO-sceptic Donald Trump bids for a second term as U.S. president.

"I expect that ministers will approve a plan for NATO to lead the coordination of security assistance and training to Ukraine," Jens Stoltenberg told reporters on the eve of a two-day meeting of NATO defence ministers in Brussels.

"This is a key element of our package for Ukraine at the Washington summit, along with a long-term financial commitment."
