NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has proposed creating a 100 billion-euro ($108 illion), five-year fund for Ukraine in a push to get the alliance more involved in sending weapons to Kyiv. NATO foreign ministers will hold preliminary talks on the plan in Brussels on April 3 as they seek to forge a support package for Ukraine by a July summit in Washington. "Foreign ministers will discuss the best way to organize NATO's support for Ukraine, to make it more powerful, predictable, and enduring," a NATO official said on April 2.
