NATO countries will provide Ukraine with at least €20B in military assistance this year.

“In the first three months of the year, we have already announced the allocation of over €20B in assistance to Ukraine. Our command in Wiesbaden continues to coordinate the supply of security assistance and training for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

He also gave his assurance that the allies will continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine.

To that end, the UK may soon transfer some decommissioned Puma HC.Mk 2 transport helicopters to Ukraine. According to Avions Legendaires, London is preparing to transfer 8-10 helicopters. While not all of them may be in full working order, this will allow Ukraine to have up to 16-18 of these machines in its air fleet.

Additionally, on April 11 a meeting of the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine in the Ramstein format is scheduled for Brussels. However, for the first time since 2022, the US Secretary of Defense will not be in attendance. Furthermore, neither senior Pentagon officials nor other representatives who typically accompany the Secretary of Defense are expected to attend.
