NATO commits €70 billion for Ukraine in 2026, exceeding Kyiv's request as Europe takes the lead

NATO allies pledged at least €70 billion in 2026 military aid to Ukraine at their Ankara summit on July 8—more than Kyiv's $60 billion estimate. Allies committed to sustaining equivalent support in 2027. The shift reflects Europe and Canada now providing most long-term assistance, following US signals of reduced funding under the Trump administration.
