NATO announces details of new aid package to Ukraine
The NATO summit in Madrid will approve a new aid package to Ukraine, which will include non-lethal, humanitarian aid, and will also facilitate the transfer of modern weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This was stated by an official representative of the alliance, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
"At the summit, the partners intend to approve a new comprehensive package of assistance to Ukraine. As you know, all lethal assistance is provided by the Allies on a bilateral basis or directly, but not through NATO organizations. Here are some examples from chemical, biological, nuclear threat, medicines. We have a growing range of project proposals, and we intend to continue to provide non-lethal assistance. We are also increasing humanitarian assistance," said a NATO spokesman.
He added that the alliance will also focus on the transition of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Soviet to modern weapons.
"We see this in supporting Ukraine in developing a roadmap for the transition from the current 'Soviet' to modern, Western armaments. We are working with Ukraine to transform its defense industry," he said.
