The leaders of 32 NATO member countries at the Ankara Summit jointly decided to provide significant military support to Ukraine. According to the summit declaration, the Alliance pledged to provide at least €140 billion in 2026–2027.
As stated in the final document, the Allies pledged to provide €70 billion in military equipment, assistance, and training for Ukraine in 2026. They also reaffirmed their sovereign commitment to maintain at least an equivalent level of support in 2027. This brings the total aid over two years to at least €140 billion.
This decision is particularly important given the challenges Ukraine faces in defense funding. According to sources, even with EU support, the 2026 budget still contained a significant deficit. The bulk of the aid is expected to come from European NATO members and Canada. The decision underscores the Alliance’s long-term commitment to supporting Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.
“By 2026, Allies commit to providing €70 billion in military equipment, assistance, and training for Ukraine and reaffirm their sovereign obligations to maintain at least equivalent levels in 2027,” the summit declaration states.
The Ankara summit also included discussions of other security aspects, including relations with Russia. The decision to assist Ukraine was one of the key outcomes of the meeting.
