Biden Approves Mobilization of Reserves to Support Eucom
"This [executive order] reaffirms the unwavering support and commitment to defend NATO's eastern flank in the wake of Russia's illegal and unprovoked war on Ukraine,"
The United States is working with Allies and partners to support Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty and freedom. As of May 21, 2023, the U.S. has committed $37.3 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's unprovoked assault on February 24.

The secretary general said the allies have agreed to a three-element package that will bring Ukraine closer to NATO.
The leaders agreed to a new multi-year assistance program for Ukraine to speed up the transition from Soviet-era doctrines and equipment to NATO standards. The nation was well on its way to ditching the Soviet-era training and equipment even before the second Russian invasion. This new package will "help rebuild Ukraine's security and defense sector, and to cover critical needs like fuel, demining equipment and medical supplies," Stoltenberg said.
Finally, leaders reaffirmed that Ukraine would become a member of NATO and agreed to remove the requirement for a Membership Action Plan. "This will change Ukraine's membership path from a two-step process to a one-step process," the secretary general said. "We also made it clear that we will issue an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO when allies agree, and conditions are met."
These plans call for 300,000 alliance troops at high readiness, including substantial air and naval power.
