NATO defense ministers are set to finalize an agreement that will grant the alliance increased control over security assistance and training for Ukraine's military. This move is seen as a way to provide Europe with more responsibility over the aid amid uncertainties surrounding the upcoming US presidential election.
The consolidation plan is partly driven by concerns that a potential re-election of former President Donald Trump, who has been hesitant about US military support for NATO and Europe, could impact the level of US commitment to supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
