NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and alliance leaders continue to rule out deploying combat troops to fight in Ukraine, stressing that direct involvement risks catastrophic escalation with Russia while prioritizing weapons aid, training, and sanctions. Following Donald Trump's U.S. election victory on November 5, traders price in lower escalation odds amid his pledges for swift peace talks and reduced U.S. commitments, reinforced by recent €40 billion EU aid pledges without troop escalations. Ukraine's Kursk incursion and North Korean reinforcements to Russia heighten frontline pressures but have prompted no NATO combat shift. Key upcoming events include NATO defense ministerial in February 2025 and Trump's January inauguration, which could pivot diplomacy or aid flows.
