“Now more than 80% of all military assistance for Ukraine – I emphasize, all, not only PURL – is coordinated and delivered today through NATO, through NSATU (NATO assistance mission to Ukraine. – “GORDON”) in Wiesbaden,” said Getmanchuk.
She expects that during 2026 “at least $60 billion” in military procurement for Ukraine will be covered by NATO members and partners.
“We ask that about 80% of these funds be allocated to three priority areas. The first is air defense, the second is artillery ammunition, mainly long-range. And the third is investments in our defense production, including drones, missiles, interceptors,” Getmanchuk emphasized.
