Britain and France have scuppered a proposal for Nato allies to spend 0.25 per cent of GDP on military aid for Ukraine.
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.
We’ve already spent over 20 Billion with no indication the spigot will be turned off. This sounds like performative BS for domestic consumption.
