BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO allies have agreed to fund military aid for Ukraine with 40 billion euros ($43.05 billion) next year, a Western European diplomat told Reuters on Wednesday, one week before the alliance's leaders are set to meet in Washington.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had asked member states to keep up military aid for Ukraine at the same level as in the years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, adding up to some 40 billion euros ($43 billion) per year.
NATO leaders will sign off on the pledge next week in Washington.
