Sweden has announced the allocation of $108 million to support the PURL initiative for the supply of U.S. weapons to Ukraine.
This is stated in a press release from the Swedish Ministry of Defense, as reported by Ukrinform.
It is noted that these funds are part of a previously announced aid package for Ukraine.
“Through the PURL initiative, Ukraine gains access to high-priority American defence materiel, including advanced air defence systems and ammunition. This is crucial to Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s continued attacks. Sweden’s support is long-term, substantial and based on Ukraine’s needs and priorities,” said Defense Minister Paul Jönsson.
According to reports, since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Sweden has provided Ukraine with military aid totaling 128 billion Swedish kronor. Part of this aid was directed toward supporting funds and initiatives from other countries.
