Pentagon says NATO will take on more Ukraine aid responsibilities
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed U.S. European Command to reorganize the Security Assistance Group-Ukraine and redistribute some of its responsibilities with NATO's Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine mission, USEUCOM said on Aug. 4.
The U.S. Defense Department has announced that NATO will assume greater responsibility for providing security assistance to Ukraine, according to a statement from U.S. European Command on August 4. The reorganization of the Security Assistance Group-Ukraine (SAG-U) aims to enhance the effectiveness of aid to Ukraine, shift certain responsibilities to NATO allies, and free up U.S. resources for other strategic priorities.
U.S. Army Europe and Africa spokesperson Col. Michael Weisman emphasized that the reorganization will not diminish U.S. support for Ukraine, and the department reiterated its commitment to aiding Ukraine through coordination with USEUCOM and the Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine mission. SAG-U, established in November 2022, has coordinated over $2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine and collaborated with U.S. allies to bolster Ukraine's defense and Europe's security capabilities.
