NATO is discussing a strategy to offer sustained military assistance to Ukraine, aiming for less reliance on short-term aid. With Russia gaining ground in the conflict, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized the need for a more structured approach. Ukraine recently lowered its conscription age amid severe shortages in infantry and ammunition. While NATO won’t directly supply weapons, it plans to coordinate support efforts, possibly involving up to $100 billion. However, Western pledges have faced challenges, with broken promises hindering aid delivery. Stoltenberg urged swift action from Congress to provide military aid, crucial for Ukraine’s defense against Russian forces.
