Details: We are talking about the start of the new NATO Assistance Center for Ukraine in the field of security and training (NSATU), the creation of which was agreed by the leaders of the Alliance at the summit in Washington in July 2024.
The center, located at a US military base in the German city of Wiesbaden, is “fully operational,” an unnamed source told Reuters.
The total number of NSATU should be about 700 servicemen, including servicemen stationed at NATO’s SHAPE military headquarters in Belgium and logistics centers in Poland and Romania.
NSATU, specifically designed to coordinate training and arms supplies to Ukraine, gives NATO a greater role in helping Kyiv counter a Russian invasion.
Reuters interlocutors in diplomatic circles, however, admit that the transfer of powers to NATO may have a limited effect, given that the US under Donald Trump may still reduce its support for Ukraine.
Trump, who will take office as US president in January 2025, has said he wants to quickly end the war in Ukraine, and at the same time criticized the scale of American financial and military aid to Ukraine.
Trump also recently assured that his team is working on “ending the war” in Ukraine and has made “some progress.”
