us, ukraine, russia, germany - Recently, the US has expanded NATO's influence by taking advantage of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Many countries have joined the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, as a result of Russia's diminishing influence and Ukraine's need for support.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has provided the US with an opportunity to bolster NATO's influence by supporting Ukraine and expanding the alliance's reach. As Ukraine's Soviet-era equipment started running out of ammunition in the aftermath of Russia's invasion in February 2022, the US committed to help Kiev by seeking ammunition for their Soviet equipment but faced challenges in finding the right supplies in sufficient numbers.

In a bid to assist Ukraine, the Biden administration first turned to US allies for support and leveraged relationships developed over the years with non-NATO members to establish a support network for Ukraine. The international community, known as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, will convene for the 25th time under the Biden administration in Germany's Ramstein Air Base. What started with a few countries individually supporting Kiev post-Russia's invasion has now expanded to include at least 52 countries.

While Ukraine is not an official member of NATO, it has access to arms and ammunition from many alliance countries during the conflict. This, coupled with the use of NATO weapons and equipment by Ukraine, has catalyzed more countries to distance themselves from Russia and support Ukraine, leading to the expansion of the group to 20 countries.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte emphasized the importance of providing Ukraine with necessary training and military equipment to ensure a balance in burden sharing among alliance members. The negotiations aim to establish a roadmap for supporting Ukraine in defense, artillery, armored vehicles, drones, air force, maritime security, and other critical areas until at least 2027.

Rutte also shed light on the extensive investments of European allies in the US defense industry, highlighting the potential for increased collaboration if restrictions on US defense trade are eased. He mentioned the significant costs associated with European demand for Patriot missile defense systems and how alleviating restrictions could reduce political conflicts and enhance defense cooperation with NATO non-member countries.
