NATO officials, led by Secretary General Mark Rutte, have reiterated firm opposition to deploying combat troops in Ukraine, stressing escalation risks with Russia while boosting aid through weapons, F-16 deliveries, and air defense systems like Patriots. Recent developments include the U.S. approval of additional ATACMS missiles for Ukraine amid Russian advances in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions, but no shift toward direct NATO or EU intervention following the NATO Washington summit pledges in July. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's calls for deeper alliance integration continue, yet alliance policy prioritizes avoiding World War III. Traders watch the incoming Trump administration's foreign policy signals and the 2025 NATO Hague summit for potential de-escalation or policy pivots that could influence troop involvement probabilities.
