NATO Takes Over Ukraine Military Aid Coordination from US, Citing Trump Concerns

Dec 17, 2024, 04:32 PM

NATO has taken over the coordination of Western military aid to Ukraine from the United States, as planned, according to a Reuters source. This move is widely seen as an effort to safeguard the support mechanism from potential disruptions by NATO skeptic Donald Trump, who is set to take office in January. The transition, which comes after a delay of several months, gives NATO a more direct role in the ongoing conflict against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The headquarters of NATO's new mission, named NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), is located at Clay Barracks in Wiesbaden, Germany, and is now fully operational.
