Nato secretary general Mark Rutte says a bit more on the deal.
"This is really big. This is really big." He says Trump called him on Thursday and said he wanted to give Ukraine what it needed to have, but asked Europeans to pay for it, “which is totally logical.” "This is, again, Europeans stepping up."
Rutte says he has been in touch with “many countries” intending to be part of the deal, and namechecks Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the UK, the Netherlands, and Canada. “And this is only the first wave, there will be more,” he says.
He adds that Nato will work through its systems to “make sure that we know what Ukrainians need” He says: “It will mean that Ukraine can get his hands on really massive numbers of military equipment, both for air defence, but also missiles, ammunition.”
