Ukraine’s partners pledged record support at a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group at NATO headquarters in Brussels on February 12, 2026.
Nearly $38 billion
Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said allies had announced nearly $38 billion in military assistance for 2026, with most new funding going to air defence, drones and interceptor drones. UK Defence Secretary John Healey said $35 billion of that had been formally allocated.
Patriot missiles
Allies agreed to provide 30 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles, and German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said Germany would add five more, bringing the total to 35, with deliveries expected within days.
National pledges
The UK committed £500 million in urgent air defence aid. Germany said it would allocate €11.5 billion to Ukraine in 2026 and supply long-range drones.
Looking ahead
Pistorius said Ukraine would need around $60 billion next year to sustain its defence. The meeting came as Ukraine’s air defences were under severe strain from Russia’s winter campaign against the power grid.
