0:34Now PlayingNATO allies are reining in expectations about the viability of a proposed $100 billion fund to support Ukraine as the alliance grapples with how to provide sufficient aid to Kyiv.
At a gathering of the alliance’s foreign ministers in Brussels, some countries raised doubts about the prospects of finding fresh funding for NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s plan to pool allied contributions over five years. Several ministers suggested it would be better to pledge a smaller amount that allies can more clearly back, according to a senior diplomat present for the discussions.
Many ministers stressed the NATO initiative shouldn’t compete with bilateral and EU aid and warned that the alliance shouldn’t make promises to Ukraine that it can’t keep, according to officials present for the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Another senior diplomat said the $100 billion sum is so large, it would likely have to account for bilateral donations member states give Ukraine, meaning any additional fresh funding would likely be marginal.
