NATO countries, which promised Ukraine military assistance worth 40 billion euros for the current year, provided half of this assistance - 20.9 billion euros - in the first half of the year.

This was announced by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels during a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrinformreports.

"It is important that we continue to provide military support to Ukraine. I want to announce that the allies are well on their way to fulfilling the financial commitments made in Washington. Military assistance worth 20.9 billion euros was delivered in the first half of this year, so we are on track to deliver 40 billion. NATO continues to work with Ukraine to bring it closer to the Alliance," the NATO chief said.

Earlier, on Wednesday, October 16, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a plan for Ukraine's victory in the war against Russia in the Verkhovna Rada. This document includes diplomacy, economy, politics and military component.

Also, on September 29, NATO stepped up surveillance of Romania's airspace, deploying an airborne surveillance aircraft (AWACS).

"The decision to fly AWACS, made on the recommendation of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, will help support the Alliance's enhanced presence in the region and track Russian military activity," the command said.

NATO noted that the surveillance aircraft monitor Russian military activity on the Alliance's borders and enhance Romania's ability to respond to air activity near its borders.

"This vigilance activity is legal, defensive, proportionate and fully transparent," the press service said.

It is specified that the flights will be carried out exclusively over NATO territory from the Preveza air base in Greece and the main NATO AWACS base in Geilenkirchen, Germany.
