Ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara next week, a summit declaration approved by NATO ambassadors and reviewed by Reuters says the alliance’s leaders—including U.S. President Donald Trump—will reaffirm an “ironclad commitment” to collective defence under Article 5. The text reflects that all NATO members remain committed to the pact’s principle that an attack on one ally is considered an attack on all.
Separate reporting from Euronews and other outlets indicates the declaration also outlines planned military support for Ukraine. According to the text, NATO members are set to pledge €70 billion (about $80 billion) in military assistance to Ukraine for 2026, with “at least equivalent levels” of support planned for 2027. The document is still subject to final approval by the leaders during the summit.
Overall, the sources agree the Ankara summit will focus on collective defence commitments under Article 5 and will also address multi-year assistance levels for Ukraine.
