Ukraine will receive more than 35 billion euros in extra security assistance for the coming year, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced at a press conference ahead of the Alliance’s annual summit in The Hague, Politico reports. 

NATO’s aid has become especially crucial for Ukraine amid a pause in new aid packages from the United States. After a series of US President Donald Trump’s statements that Moscow wants peace and direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia has intensified its attack on Ukrainian civilians. It has also announced directly that Russia and Ukraine are one people and that it does not want a ceasefire with Kyiv. At the same time, the US has not imposed sanctions on Russia, and has not adopted new military packages despite Russia’s summer offensive in different Ukrainian regions. 

“I can announce that now new estimates showing that our European and Canadian allies have stepped up, they will provide over €35 billion of additional security assistance to Ukraine for the year ahead,” the NATO chief said.

The secretary general also emphasized that Ukraine’s path toward NATO membership remains irreversible, despite public statements from the US President Donald Trump administration suggesting that the war-torn country would not join the Alliance.

He noted that NATO continues to be “resolute in its efforts to assist Ukraine,” even though US support has waned, and added that the Alliance is united on this subject.

“This is the reason why, I think also last year in Washington, NATO allies agreed that for Ukraine, there is an irreversible path of Ukraine to enter NATO. That is still true today, and it will still be true on Thursday after this summit,” Rutte stressed.

Earlier, reports emerged that Ukraine might receive cutting-edge technologies from NATO by the end of 2025. The Alliance has completed testing systems designed to counter Russian guided bombs and strike drones like the Shaheds.

Western startups Alta Ares, Atreyd, and Tytan carried out the developments, which created a multilayered air defense system.
