🇺🇸💶❌🇺🇦 NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is scrapping plans to set up a five-year fund of military aid for Ukraine after facing pushback from alliance members, and is instead asking countries to keep up their current contributions, people familiar with the matter said - Bloomberg Under the new proposal, which could get backing from NATO defense ministers when they gather in Brussels next week, allies will commit to spending a total of at least €40 billion ($43 billion) per year on lethal and non-lethal aid for Ukraine. That would be in line with average annual contributions since Russia’s invasion in 2022, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. NATO would determine each nation’s donation goals based on a percentage of their gross domestic product, and then likely publish totals in an annual report. The aim would be to provide more transparency about what allies give Ukraine — while gently pressuring any members who don’t meet their commitments, the people said. The US would account for about half the aid, with the alliance’s other 31 members providing the rest. Stoltenberg had previously floated a plan to pool allied contributions worth $100 billion for five years, but allies questioned its viability amid reluctance to commit to new funds and concerns about misleading Ukraine. While the new plan wouldn’t involve fresh cash, NATO hopes it would offer Kiev more predictability about the level of support in the coming years. Allies were shaken after the US Congress waited for months to approve a new round of aid and are also concerned about what the possible reelection of Donald Trump in November would mean for Ukraine funding. 🎙Subscribe @TheIslanderNews

⚡️ Vladimir Putin's key statements at the SPIEF-2024 Plenary Session: ▪️ Russia's economic growth rates are higher than the global average, and this growth is mainly driven by non-resource industries. ▪️ GDP growth was 3.6% last year and exceeds 5% in the recent months of 2024. This is better than the world's leading economies. ▪️ We have set a goal to become one of the four largest economies in the world, the World Bank has put Russia in 4th place. ▪️ The level of imports should fall to 17% of GDP by 2030. ▪️ Investment activity must be provided with resources - we will double the financing of industry. ▪️ Russia can and will produce more consumer goods, so we need to launch new projects in all regions. ▪️ Unemployment in Russia fell to 2.6 per cent in April. t.me/ukraine_watch
