During the meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Helsingborg, Ukraine received new commitments from partners to contribute to the PURL initiative.
In addition, another source of funding was unlocked, which will help cover additional needs within the framework of the initiative.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said this in a comment to Ukrinform.
According to him, one of the key tasks assigned to the Ukrainian delegation by President Volodymyr Zelensky during the NATO ministerial meeting in Sweden was the development of the PURL program.
“This is a critically important initiative for the procurement of American weapons, covering the lion’s share of Ukraine’s needs in defending against Russian ballistic strikes. Following the negotiations, we have received new contribution commitments. I will not yet disclose the specific amounts or countries involved – announcements will come later. In addition, we unlocked another source of financing that will help cover part of the needs within the PURL framework,” Sybiha said.
