On Thursday, 6 June, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg explained that the [North Atlantic] Alliance has “no plans to deploy forces to Ukraine”.
“We are focusing on how we can establish a stronger framework for our support with an institutionalised framework for the support to Ukraine and how to establish and agree [on] a long-term financial commitment to ensure that we stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes”, he explained during a press conference in Finland.
The allies are working on [establishing] a NATO mission for Ukraine and a fund—which Mr Stoltenberg had initially estimated at €100 billion—to ensure that Ukraine gets the “predictability and accountability” it needs in the way of military support from NATO allies to Ukraine.
Whereas France might send instructors to Ukraine and the EU is considering organising in-country training for Ukrainian soldiers, Finnish President Alexander Stubb specified that his country has no plans to deploy troops to Ukraine either. (Original version in French by Camille-Cerise Gessant)
