US, Nato seek to supply Ukraine with weapons paid for by allies

The move, according to three sources, comes as US President Donald Trump has expressed frustration with Russia’s ongoing attacks on Ukraine

The president said last month the US would supply weapons to Ukraine, paid for by European allies, but did not indicate how this would be done.

Nato countries, Ukraine, and the United States were developing a new mechanism that would focus on getting US weapons to Ukraine from the Priority Ukraine Requirements List, known by the acronym PURL, the sources said.

Ukraine would prioritise the weapons it needs in tranches of roughly US$500 million, and Nato allies – coordinated by Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte – would then negotiate among themselves who would donate or pay for items on the list.
