NATO Allies and partners fund over 4 billion in PURL packages for Ukraine

NATO Allies and partners have pledged more than 4 billion dollars in critical military equipment and munitions for Ukraine, sourced from the United States, under NATO's Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative. Since August 2025, NATO Allies and partners have committed 1 billion dollars every month, with more contributions expected to follow this month and into next year. This support is crucial for Ukraine, providing essential air defences and other equipment needed as they continue to defend against Russian attacks.

During the December meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers, three new PURL packages, each worth 500 million dollars were announced. One package is jointly funded by Germany, Norway and Poland, another one by Germany, the Netherlands and Norway. A further PURL package was funded by Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed that two-thirds of NATO Allies have so far declared that they would contribute to PURL, and that NATO partners Australia and New Zealand have also pledged support. "Allies are stepping up their support to Ukraine. This is especially important with the winter ahead. I want to thank every Ally for their contribution - this is making a real difference on the battlefield. Let me also thank Australia and New Zealand for their recent announcements. This is a strong signal of our joint support," said the Secretary General.
