TL;DR

According to a Reuters report cited by Channel 12, a draft of decisions from the NATO summit in Ankara indicates alliance members will commit to providing Ukraine with €70 billion in military aid in 2026, and a similar amount for 2027. The report is based on the draft text, which has not been finalized.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Ankara summit negotiations are moving toward a substantial new multi-year commitment to Ukraine, according to a Reuters report relayed by Israel's Channel 12. The draft text reportedly commits NATO members to €70 billion in military aid for Kyiv in 2026, with a pledge of 'at least equal' funding for 2027. The figure would represent a significant, sustained injection of Western defense resources into the war effort.

If adopted, the 2026 pledge would roughly match the total security aid the U.S. Congress authorized for Ukraine in the 2024 supplemental package, suggesting NATO is preparing for a long-term support framework independent of U.S. political cycles. The 2027 commitment is listed as a target rather than a firm figure, leaving room for negotiation.

The draft is not yet final. The Reuters report, attributed to the summit's working documents, has not been independently confirmed by a second source. Final decisions are expected after closed-door sessions among heads of state in Ankara.
