NATO Faces €7 Billion Shortfall in Funding Ukraine Aid

Politico magazine reported that "NATO countries are facing a €7 billion shortfall in funding military assistance to Ukraine by the end of the year," noting that "it remains unclear how this funding gap arose, as it hinders Kyiv's ability to purchase the military equipment it needs."

The magazine quoted a NATO diplomat stating that "alliance members providing significant financial support to Ukraine have become weary of doing so."
