NATO defense ministers approved a plan to expand support for Ukraine

The defense ministers of the North Atlantic Alliance approved the "operational plan for expanding support to Ukraine", which provides for the coordination of the supply of weapons and training for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The plan envisages that in the future the Alliance will take over the international coordination of arms supplies and training for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As you know, the approval of the "operational plan" was blocked by Hungary for a long time, since NATO makes all decisions by consensus. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán referred to the fact that the initiative of the Alliance could lead to a "direct confrontation" with Russia.

But before the ministerial meeting in Brussels, Orbán met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and agreed to lift the veto in exchange for a promise that Hungary would not take part in training Ukrainians or finance the supply of weapons.
