Five countries, including the United Kingdom and France, have rejected a proposal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to allocate 0.25% of GDP to military assistance for Ukraine.
That is according to The Telegraph, Ukrinform reports.
Rutte this week conceded his plan would not be taken forward because it did not have sufficient support. However, he did not name the opponents.
According to the news outlet, the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Canada blocked the idea when it was floated in discussions for how to boost support for Kyiv.
Rutte was hoping to ratify the proposal at NATO's upcoming annual summit in Ankara, Turkey.
