At NATO Summit, Ukraine May Receive $10–12 Billion Instead of the Previously Discussed $40 Billion

According to the Italian newspaper, the reduction is linked to decreased American support and “Washington’s loss of desire to support Kyiv and its struggle.”

“Since American aid to Ukraine has been significantly reduced, as has Washington’s desire to support Kyiv, the new funds should not exceed $10–12 billion,” one of the outlet’s sources said.

Earlier, media reported that, at Germany’s initiative, a clause on allocating additional funds to Ukraine for military needs could be included in the final document of the NATO summit, which will take place in Ankara on July 7–8.

The total amount was initially estimated at $70 billion. Of that, €30 billion was supposed to be part of the European Union’s already approved €90 billion aid package, while another roughly $40 billion was envisaged as new commitments.

If Corriere della Sera’s report is confirmed, the new portion of aid will be reduced to about $10 billion because of the U.S. refusal to allocate additional funds.
