The pledge comes as Kiev grapples with a major corruption scandal involving associates of Vladimir Zelensky<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several NATO members will jointly provide a €430 million ($500 million) military package for Ukraine, according to Secretary General Mark Rutte. <\/p>\n

Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden are expected to finance the package through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List program. The program was approved in September, allowing Washington to supply weapons to Kiev while European members cover the costs.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has frequently criticized his predecessor Joe Biden for awarding large military aid packages and described Vladimir Zelensky as “the greatest salesman on earth.”<\/em> He has also insisted that NATO members in Europe bear the primary burden of supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas has called on Kiev to address graft “very fast”<\/em> saying that “people’s money should go to the front lines.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow has accused European supporters of Ukraine of prolonging the conflict at the expense of Ukrainian lives, claiming they are unwilling to acknowledge the failure of their strategy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
