(Abbey Fenbert – The Kyiv Independent) The United Kingdom, France, and other NATO states have blocked a plan under which each member would contribute 0.25% of their GDP to military aid for Ukraine, the Telegraph reported on May 24, citing an alliance source. Previously, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters on May 22 that the proposal would likely be rejected. “I don’t think this one will be accepted because there’s a lot of opposition against this fixed 0.25,” he said. – UK, France reject NATO plan to increase military aid to Ukraine, Telegraph reports
