The move would mark a major shift for the Western military alliance, which has so far refused as an organisation to send weapons to Ukraine for fear it would drag NATO closer to a conflict with Russia.

NATO Foreign Ministers on Wednesday debated a proposal to create a 100-billion-euro, five-year fund for Ukraine, as the alliance's chief urged them to guarantee long-term arms supplies for Kyiv's outgunned forces.
The Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, said; "Ukraine has urgent needs."
Stoltenberg stressed that; "Any delay in providing support has consequences on the battlefield as we speak. So we need to shift the dynamics of our support."
He made this knownt as the ministers met in Brussels.
Stoltenberg stated that Moscow needed to understand that they cannot achieve their goals on the battlefield, stressing that "they cannot wait for us out," without giving details of his proposal.
Similarly, Belgium's foreign minister Hadja Lahbib said the meeting would discuss the "feasibility" of the proposal that envisioned NATO members contributing according to the size of their economy.
she said; "But it is dangerous to make promises that we cannot keep."
Meanwhile, Germany's foreign minister Annalena Baerbock backed setting up "long-term structures" to support Ukraine, but warned against "juggling in the air" vague figures.
