According to the Joint Declaration issued after the summit, NATO Allies announced plans to provide a total of $80 billion in defence support for Ukraine in 2026. The ministry said this would include $32 billion through the defence component of the EU loan and $48 billion in bilateral support.
The Ministry of Defence said partner countries have already made budgetary provisions totalling $40 billion for bilateral security assistance to Ukraine in 2026. It said the NATO declaration therefore signals the Allies’ intention to provide an additional $8 billion in security assistance next year.
Allies also announced their intention to provide at least the same level of support, $80 billion, in 2027. Ukraine said the commitments reflect continued efforts to strengthen its defence and partner capabilities.
Norway announced approximately $306 million in funding for the procurement of Patriot missiles through the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List and JUMPSTART mechanisms. Norway, Denmark, Germany and Canada plan to jointly procure new missiles through contributions to those mechanisms.
Norway is also prepared to support the procurement of Patriot missiles from countries that already hold them in their inventories. The ministry said this would help address Ukraine’s critical air defence requirement for counter-ballistic capabilities more quickly.
Ukraine also announced an implementation agreement with Germany to launch joint production of Bars drone missiles in Germany. The agreement was signed by Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrii Sybiha, and Germany’s Federal Minister of Defence, Boris Pistorius.
The project will be financed by Germany, and all production will be supplied to the Defence Forces of Ukraine. The ministry said the project is another step in expanding joint defence production between Ukraine and Germany and will help scale Ukrainian technologies proven effective in modern warfare.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also signed Drone Deal agreements with the leaders of Estonia, the Netherlands and Denmark. The ministry said the initiative opens new opportunities for joint defence production, exchange of expertise and combat experience, development of drone technologies and greater transparency in arms export matters.
Ukraine has now concluded nine Drone Deal agreements with partner countries. The ministry said these agreements are intended to help provide the Defence Forces of Ukraine with effective strike capabilities more quickly while strengthening the defence industries of partner countries.
Canada invited Ukraine to become a founding member of a new bank focused on defence, security and resilience. At the NATO Summit in Ankara, the leaders of Ukraine, Canada, Albania, Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Luxembourg, Romania and Türkiye announced their shared intention to establish the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank.
The bank is intended to strengthen Allied defence capabilities by mobilising approximately $134 billion in available financing. It is expected to provide low-interest loans for defence projects and guarantees to private banks to support the scaling of the defence industry.
The Ministry of Defence said the new agreements support Ukraine’s defence priorities of achieving technological superiority on the battlefield and building mutually beneficial partnerships. It said Drone Deal agreements, joint production and new financial instruments will help Ukraine scale solutions proven effective in modern warfare while allowing partners to strengthen their own defence capabilities through Ukraine’s experience.
