NATO is set to take over the coordination of arms deliveries to Ukraine from the US, the alliance's chief said on Wednesday, in a bid to safeguard the military aid mechanism as NATO-skeptic Donald Trump bids for a second term as US president.
"I expect that ministers will approve a plan for NATO to lead the coordination of security assistance and training to Ukraine," Jens Stoltenberg told reporters on the eve of a two-day meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels.
"This is a key element of our package for Ukraine at the Washington summit, along with a long-term financial commitment."
