NATO allies have surpassed their self-imposed target by providing Ukraine with security assistance worth more than €50 billion ($51.9 billion) in 2024, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte announced on Wednesday.

Mr Rutte said, “Allies pledged to provide Ukraine with 40 billion euros of security assistance in 2024. Allies have not only met their commitments; they have far exceeded them.’’.

He stressed that more than half of the assistance came from European allies and Canada.

Mr Rutte also noted that NATO was making significant progress toward what U.S. President Donald Trump had called for, agreeing with the need to equalise security aid to Ukraine.

He stated, “To really change the trajectory of the conflict, we need to do even more.’’
