NATO is working on the idea of a five-year aid package for Ukraine worth up to $100 billion, which will be valid regardless of possible political changes in the West, in particular, if Donald Trump wins the US elections.
As Day.Az reports with reference to Interfax, diplomatic sources reported this to the Financial Times (FT) on Tuesday.
“This will be the crossing of the Rubicon. NATO will have a role in coordinating lethal support for Ukraine… I see signs of a consensus emerging,” one diplomat familiar with the situation told the newspaper.
According to several diplomats, the so-called “Mission for Ukraine” proposal was put forward by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. According to the plan, the alliance will have to jointly coordinate the use of what is expected to be $100 billion, which will be allocated by the 32 member countries of the alliance.
If approved, the proposal would give NATO control of the US-led Contact Group on Ukraine and allow the alliance to manage the supply of lethal weapons to Kyiv, the newspaper explains.
She emphasizes that work on Stoltenberg’s plan is taking place against the backdrop of the fact that the US Congress has been unable to agree on a large aid package for Kyiv since last fall.
Tuition Exceeds 90 Thousand Dollars
The 2024-25 academic year is shaping up to be a challenging one for students looking to enroll in certain universities in the USA, especially in the New England area. According to recent data, there are four universities that stand out for their exorbitant fees, exceeding $90,000 for entry.
Among these prestigious yet pricey institutions are Tufts University, Wellesley College, Boston University, and Yale University. Tuition fees alone for these schools range from $90,207 to $95,888, making them some of the most expensive in the country.
These staggering fees not only make it difficult for students to afford a quality education but also contribute to raising the national average for university tuition. New England colleges, in particular, charge more than twice the national average, which was reported to be $38,768 per year for private universities in 2023.
A report from the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University highlighted a 169% increase in the prices of programs at these institutions, far surpassing the 20% increase in average salaries for young adults during the same period.
As students and families grapple with the financial burden of pursuing higher education, the rising costs of attending these esteemed universities raise important questions about accessibility and affordability in the current academic landscape.

Nebraskas Republican Party Advocates For A Winner-Take-All Arrangement…
The Republican party in Nebraska is advocating for a ‘winner-take-all’ approach in presidential elections. Could this lead to a tie in the Electoral College in 2024?
Nebraska Republicans are making another effort to switch to a “winner-take-all” method for presidential elections, which could lead to a potential tie in the electoral college in the 2024 election. This would result in the House of Representatives selecting the ultimate winner.
Alternatively, Maine, where Democrats have control of the governor’s office and a legislative majority, may alter its system to regain the electoral vote that was won by Mr. Trump in 2020. While Mr. Biden won Maine with a margin of nine percentage points, Mr. Trump secured a vote in the electoral college by winning the rural second district of the state.
“According to Mr. Pillen’s statement, this change would align Nebraska with 48 other states, align with the intentions of the founders, and enable our state to speak cohesively in presidential elections.”
However, achieving the Sun-Belt-sweep-plus-one possibility may still prove to be unattainable. On Tuesday, Democratic legislators stated their belief that they could effectively use the filibuster to block the legislation, and the state legislative session is scheduled to conclude on April 18.
