NATO’s Rutte knows the proposal is dead.
We’ve come to a point where even the most ardent supporters of the Kiev regime are starting to wonder just how much more money they will have to sink into their unwinnable war effort.
Yesterday, a report arose that Britain, France and other countries have sunk the chances for a proposal that would have NATO allies spend 0.25 percent of GDP on military aid for Ukraine.
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, per the Telegraph

The Telegraph reported:
“Mark Rutte, the alliance’s secretary-general, this week conceded his plan wouldn’t be taken forward because it didn’t have sufficient support. ‘I don’t think this one will be proposed’, he told reporters, without naming the opponents.
But now The Telegraph can reveal that the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Canada blocked the idea when it was floated in discussions for how to boost support for Kyiv.”

Rutte wanted to ratify the proposal at NATO’s upcoming annual summit in Turkey.
While at least seven member states voiced support, any proposals adopted by NATO require the unanimous backing of all of its members.
“Most of the complaints are focused on the likes of France, Spain, Italy and Canada, who have been repeatedly accused of not pulling their weight.
The countries, three of which are Europe’s third, fourth and fifth largest economies, have fallen behind many of their smaller allies when it comes to donations.”
