Ukraine to buy military supplies via NATO agency, FT reports

NATO will permit Ukraine to acquire weapons, ammunition, and military equipment through its centralized procurement agency, the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), according to a Financial Times report. Jacqueline Borsboom, NSPA director of support to operations, stated that the agency offers procurement expertise, support services, and access to an established industrial base, which could help Ukraine obtain supplies more quickly and affordably. This development occurs amidst reported strains in US-Ukraine relations following President Donald Trump's announcement of a diesel export deal with Russia. Ukraine has also noted disruptions in intelligence sharing and its use of the Starshield satellite system, though President Volodymyr Zelenskiy indicated that a recent meeting in Oslo aimed to resolve these issues.
