NATO is preparing a record amount of military aid for Ukraine for 2026–2027
7 August 06:29
NATO member countries plan to provide Ukraine with €70 billion in military aid in 2026, and in 2027, the amount of support is expected to be at least the same. Thus, over two years, this amounts to at least €140 billion in aid, which will cover military equipment, supplies, and training for Ukrainian military personnel.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian", citing information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and decisions by NATO allies.
How Much Aid Will Ukraine Receive from NATO
In 2026, Alliance member states are to allocate €70 billion to support Ukraine.
The allies plan to maintain at least the same level of funding in 2027 as well.
Thus, the total amount of military support over two years could amount to no less than:
- €140 billion.
The funds and resources are to be directed toward military equipment, logistical support, personnel training, and other needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
How NATO Coordinates Aid to Ukraine
The NATO Security Assistance and Training Initiative for Ukraine (NSATU) plays a key role in coordinating this support.
Through this mechanism, Alliance member states coordinate the delivery of aid, the training of Ukrainian military personnel, and technical support.
According to the General Staff, tens of thousands of Ukrainian service members have already participated in various partner training programs.
The training covers a wide range of areas—from tactics and military medicine to air defense.
Ukraine has established a unified coordination mechanism
NSATU Deputy Commander Major General Mike Keller emphasized that the creation of a unified mechanism allows for a more systematic organization of support for Ukraine.
According to him, this involves not only the direct transfer of equipment but also:
- training Ukrainian military personnel;
- technical maintenance;
- logistical support;
- coordination of support among allies.
This should allow Ukrainian units to focus more directly on carrying out combat missions.
Tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have already completed training
NATO military personnel continue to train Ukrainian units.
Captain Petter, a representative of the Norwegian Armed Forces, emphasized that the role of the instructors is to provide the highest-quality training to Ukrainian servicemembers, while Ukrainian forces take direct part in combat operations.
Partners state that training programs will continue alongside the supply of equipment and other forms of support.
