Nato Coordinates Regular Weapons Shipments to Aid Ukraine's Defense
5 Aug
Summary
- Nato coordinating regular weapons deliveries to Ukraine
- Netherlands providing €500 million in air defense, ammunition, and military aid
- Russia's attacks on civilians have killed over 12,000 Ukrainians
As of August 5th, 2025, Nato has started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine. This follows the Netherlands' announcement that it will provide air defense equipment, ammunition, and other military aid worth €500 million (£434 million) to support Ukraine's defense efforts.
The equipment being provided is based on Ukraine's priority needs on the battlefield. Nato allies are then locating the necessary weapons and ammunition and sending them to Ukraine on a regular basis. A Nato spokesperson stated that "Packages will be prepared rapidly and issued on a regular basis."
This military aid is crucial as Russia's larger army continues to make slow but costly progress along the 620-mile front line. The United Nations has reported that Russia's relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022.
European allies and Canada are purchasing most of the equipment from the United States, which has greater stocks of military material and more effective weapons. The new deliveries will come on top of other previously pledged military support to Ukraine.
