Does the BBC not employ an editor, or has NATO suddenly become something other than an acronym? Seeing "Nato" everywhere is very grating.

As for the article, I'll wait for the action. Trump is so unreliable it's better to just ignore everything he says. If we are now willing to help UA fight for victory I expect Congress to stop chickenfeeding the weapons and start dumping them wholesale. If there aren't enough, increase production or stop sending them elsewhere.

It's common in British media to spell acronyms that way: Nato, Scuba, etc.

It's mostly used when the acronym is pronounced like a word (Nasa). They don't write "Bbc" because it's pronounced "bee bee cee" or "beeb"

Australia's government have a style guide with the example of "Anzac".
