As NATO commemorates its 75th anniversary this week, the alliance is focusing on bolstering support for Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia. With the United States not committing to new military aid, NATO, under the leadership of Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, is seeking to ensure that future US administrations do not scale back weapons and assistance to Ukraine. This initiative comes as NATO foreign ministers, including insights from James Carden and @blaise_malley, meet in Brussels, highlighting the war in Ukraine as a critical juncture. Efforts to strengthen international backing for Ukraine, as discussed by @JackDetsch and @RobbieGramer, aim to secure the alliance's support against Russian aggression. The move is seen as an attempt to 'Trump Proof' future funds for Ukraine, ensuring that NATO's commitment remains steadfast regardless of changes in US political leadership. Former NATO Ambassador Robert Hunter also weighed in on the geopolitical reality of Russia's enduring presence.
