The pledge comes as Kiev grapples with a major corruption scandal involving associates of Vladimir Zelensky
Several NATO members will jointly provide a €430 million ($500 million) military package for Ukraine, according to Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden are expected to finance the package through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List program. The program was approved in September, allowing Washington to supply weapons to Kiev while European members cover the costs.
US President Donald Trump has frequently criticized his predecessor Joe Biden for awarding large military aid packages and described Vladimir Zelensky as “the greatest salesman on earth.” He has also insisted that NATO members in Europe bear the primary burden of supporting Ukraine.
Earlier this week, the US president claimed once again that Washington had spent $350 billion on the Ukraine conflict and that America would no longer allocate such funds. “Now they’re paying us through NATO,” he said.
