🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 NATO Into the Future and $600 Million Ukraine Aid: Key Topics at Day Three of the #NATO Summit - https://theatlasnews.co/latest/2024/07/12/nato-into-the-future-key-topics-at-day-three-of-the-nato-summit/
The NATO summit in #WashingtonDC has come to a close. #Ukraine remained the most prominent topic of conversation, as has been the case for most NATO meetings since the war began over two years ago. @AtlasNewsTelegram
Out of the meeting came a number of promises for more aid to Ukraine, commitments from member states to meet NATO’s obligatory defense budget of 2% of a nation’s GDP, and a number of cooperation agreements between many of NATO’s member states.
Largely avoided before, #China was also an issue featured prominently at the summit, and continuous condemnations were offered for China’s support of #Russia in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Several different nations announced aid packages of varying size for Ukraine.
#Canada and the #UnitedStates announced substantial aid packages for Ukraine. U.S. President Joe #Biden announced that an aid package for Ukraine valued at $225 million USD during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskiy. The package includes the already announced Patriot air defense battery and Stinger anti-aircraft weapons, as well as ammunition for already-in-place surface-to-air missile systems, ammunition for the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), more Javelin anti-tank weapons, as well as 155mm and 105mm shells.
Canada on Wednesday announced its own aid package of $500 million CAD ($367 million USD). The exact details of Canada’s aid package are not known. However, Canadian Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau did announce that Canada intends to open training opportunities for Ukrainian F-16 pilots.
NATO as a whole has stated they will seek to provide more training opportunities for Ukrainian troops, both for F-16 flight training as well as general training purposes. For this purpose, there is to be a command center established in #Germany, and several logistics hubs in eastern Europe. In total, these centers are to be staffed by approximately 700 NATO personnel.
Andriy Yermak, the head of President Zelenskiy’s cabinet, said that Ukraine was “satisfied” with the outcome of the summit, which has seen a number of aid packages promised to Ukraine, as well as affirmation that Ukraine’s path to NATO membership is “irreversible.”
However, there remained one pressing Ukrainian request that had not been fulfilled. Ukraine has requested that all restrictions on carrying out strikes deep in Russia be lifted. This request was partially granted when U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer permitted Ukrainian use of Storm Shadow missiles to strike inside Russia. The U.S., however, has remained firm on the matter. President Zelenskiy thanked NATO and the West for its support, but reiterated this request in some of his closing remarks at the summit.

Essentially any questions being asked by the press are being met with “that will be part of the investigation”

So far they have not answered questions about ID of gunman, attendees warning of the gunman, what the gunman was armed with, if this was a security failure
