The Pentagon is preparing to pass leadership of a NATO mission in Germany that coordinates military aid for Ukraine to another alliance member, according to Politico. The move would mark a notable change in how Washington manages one of the key structures supporting Kyiv.
The command, based in Germany, has served as a hub for organizing military assistance to Ukraine among NATO countries. Under the reported plan, the United States would no longer lead that effort directly, with another member state taking over the top role.
The reported shift comes as the US continues to reduce its direct military role in Europe. While the change would not necessarily end NATO support for Ukraine, it would signal a redistribution of responsibilities inside the alliance as Washington adjusts its posture.
If carried out, the handover could reshape how NATO members coordinate future arms deliveries and broader defense assistance for Ukraine. It would also underline a wider trend of European allies being asked to assume a larger share of operational leadership within the bloc.
