The Pentagon is giving up command of NATO's headquarters in Germany, which is led by the United States and coordinates military aid to Ukraine.
Politico stated this in an article, citing a U.S. official and three people familiar with the plan, according to Ukrinform.
According to the publication's sources, leadership of the Ukraine Security Assistance Group (SAG-U) will eventually pass to another NATO member state. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, this structure has played a key role in supplying Ukrainian forces with weapons and training personnel. The move would mean the United States would no longer take part in shaping the future structure of Ukraine's armed forces.
The transfer of leadership, according to the sources, could take up to a year. At the same time, they emphasize that this will not affect the continuity of work with Ukraine. Although the program will be led by NATO, U.S. European Command will continue to take part through an American deputy.
"Support for Ukraine remains a top priority," a NATO spokesperson said.
