NATO began coordinating regular delivery operations to packages of large weapons to Ukraine After the Netherlands said it would provide air defense, ammunition and other military aids of 500 million euros ($ 578 million).

Sweden also announced on Tuesday that it will contribute to $ 275 million in a joint effort alongside its neighbors in the northern Denmark and Norway to provide air defenses of $ 500 million, anti -tank, ammunition and spare parts weapons.

This month is expected this month, the North Pack is expected to arrive in September. Equipment is provided based on Ukraine’s priority needs in the battlefield. NATO Then the allies identified the weapons and ammunition and send them.

“The packages will be prepared quickly and issued regularly,” NATO said on Monday.

Air defense systems are in great need. The United Nations said that Russia bombing is uncompromising from the urban areas behind the front line has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians.

The largest Russia army also achieves slow progress, but it is costly along the 1000 km front line (620 miles). Currently, it launches an operation to take the eastern city of Boucrovsk, a logistical center that can allow its driving deeper to Ukraine.

European allies and Canada buy most of the equipment they plan to send from the United States, which have larger shares of ready -made military materials, as well as the most effective weapons. The Trump administration does not give any weapons to Ukraine.

New delivery operations will come to other pledges of military equipment.

The KIEL Institute, which tracks support for Ukraine, estimates that European countries have provided from June 72 billion euros (83 billion dollars) of military aid since the beginning of the full invasion of Russia in February 2022, compared to $ 65 billion in American aid.

• The workers in Canada rejected the “final” workers. What happens after that?

President Voludmir Zelinski expressed his gratitude to the Netherlands, as it was published on social media that “Ukraine, and thus the entire Europe, will be better protected from Russian terrorism.”

He said the delivery operations are coming “at a time when Russia is trying to expand its strikes. This will certainly help protect the lives of our people!”

Germany said on Friday that it would provide two other air defense systems to Ukraine in the coming days. It agreed to the move after securing assurances that the United States will give priority to handing over the new patriots to Germany to cancel its stocks. These arms systems are made only in the United States

As an organization, NATO provides only non -fatal assistance to Ukraine such as uniforms, tents, medical supplies and logistical support. The 32 military coalition has sought to protect the NATO lands from the potential Russian attack and avoid clouds into a war against a nuclear force.

But the role of support has expanded since US President Donald Trump took office in January, although his administration insists that European allies must now care about their security and their destroyer neighbor. Trump has not provided any public promise to weapons or economic support to Ukraine.

Trump said on July 28 that the United States “will now send military equipment and other equipment to NATO, and they will do what they want, but I think it is mostly working with Ukraine.”
