Handelsblatt: NATO Initiates Fundamental Shift In Aid For Ukraine Strategy

The Alliance takes military supplies into its own hands.

10.02.2024

NATO plans to take over the coordination of arms supplies to Ukraine, despite the fact that the alliance has always considered assistance to Kyiv a matter of sovereign decisions of member countries and bilateral agreements, and not its program.

This was reported by the German newspaper Handelsblatt, citing sources in diplomatic and political circles.

“A fundamental change of course is beginning within NATO: the Western defense alliance is preparing plans to take over the coordination of arms supplies to Ukraine,” the material says.

It is noted that the leadership of the bloc considers it advisable to integrate the Ramstein format into its own structures in order to protect itself from possible political changes in Washington. NATO, according to the publication, increasingly doubts that the United States will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine if former American President Donald Trump wins the election in November.

The newspaper writes that the development of the integration plan was carried out by the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, Jake Sullivan, and the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg.

  1. “The alliance has so far wanted to avoid the impression of being part of the conflict with Russia at all costs. But now a change is on the horizon – out of fear of Donald Trump.”

    The above quote is a translation of the subtitle from the Handelblatt’s article. Mafia land has lied all along that it’s fighting NATO. Will this be fuel for their propaganda machinery? You bet. Will it change anything? Hopefully so, to the benefit of Ukraine. I hope it’ll make weapon and ammo deliveries more efficient. We’ll see.
    Oh, and this is yet another sign that reality is forcing the Europeans to drop their fearmongering … in a way, because one fear (mafia land) has been replaced by another fear (Trump’s possible presidency).
