| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg plans to propose at the alliance summit in Washington in June to create a fund worth $100 billion to finance military assistance to the Kiev regime, Bloomberg reported on April 2. According to the publication, Stoltenberg will propose to allocate these funds for five years. NATO leaders are expected to sign the document. The agency emphasized that there have been no official statements on this matter, and it is possible that the proposal will change by the summit. It is reported that while members of the alliance are arguing whether bilateral arms supplies to Ukraine should be counted as contributions to this fund. Stoltenberg’s proposal requires the approval of all countries included in the bloc, the publication recalled. The first discussions of these plans may take place on April 3 and 4 at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. As Regnum reported, Stoltenberg in February called Ukraine a good deal for the United States. He called arms supplies to Kyiv an investment in the American defense industry. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said in February that the supply of weapons to Ukraine will not change the course of the special operation, but will only prolong the conflict. He emphasized that such military assistance to the Kiev regime will make Ukraine sicker, as it will increase losses among Ukrainians. |
