PURL Initiative for Ukraine Rockets to $2.82 Bln in Just Months
Ukraine and NATO are deepening cooperation under the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), as total partner contributions have reached $2.82 billion.
The Gaze reports this, referring to the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Ihor Zhovkva met with Ariella Vie, a representative of NATO’s International Secretariat, to discuss the progress of the initiative, which coordinates the supply of American weapons to Ukraine financed by NATO allies and partners.
“These funds have enabled the formation of five packages of U.S. weaponry to strengthen Ukraine’s defense,” the Presidential Office said in a statement.
Zhovkva thanked NATO for its role in organizing and managing lethal aid deliveries and emphasized the need to attract additional contributions from member states that have not yet joined PURL. The sides also discussed mechanisms to secure long-term funding for 2026.
Highlighting Ukraine’s growing defense-industrial potential, Zhovkva underscored the need for greater investment in domestic arms production.
“Ukraine has the capacity to produce a wide range of weapons – not only drones – but what we lack is sufficient financing,” he noted.
Launched in August 2025, the PURL initiative stems from agreements between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, U.S. President Donald Trump, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. It aims to streamline the procurement of U.S. military equipment for Ukraine through collective NATO funding.
So far, 16 countries have joined the program: the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Iceland, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Portugal, and Spain.
As The Gaze reported earlier, Latvia has expanded its support for Ukraine by contributing an additional €2.2 million to the NATO PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirement List) initiative, which finances the purchase of American weapons for the Ukrainian forces.
