الناتو سيسمح لـ أوكرانيا بشراء الأسلحة والذخائر والمعدات/trainية عبر agency procurement مركزي، مما يتيح لكييف obtaining defense supplies faster and cheaper. أوكرانيا تدخل في شراكة مع الـNato Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA)، bringing its defense industry closer to western allies and providing an additional procurement channel beyond bilateral negotiations.
Jacqueline Borsboom، director of support to operations في NSPA، قالت لـ FT: "It provides أوكرانيا with the ability to have a more structured framework to leverage a broad range of capabilities that we offer: procurement expertise، support services and access to established industrial base. There will be economies of scale."
The announcement builds on an April alliance decision permitting أوكرانيا defense companies to compete in NSPA tenders. Last week، NSPA hosted an industry event في Kyiv with around 150 companies. Military procurement has become politically sensitive after corruption scandals.
The move coincides with Europe's increased defense spending amid Russian threats and أوكرانيا's innovative drone production since 2022، which European governments seek to learn from.
