President Zelensky emphasized that the new PURL defense support initiative, implemented jointly with partners, is already yielding tangible results.

He stated that as of today, $1.5 billion has been pledged, saying: “Through the NATO Priority Ukraine Requirements List initiative, NATO members can cooperate to purchase US-made weapons for Ukraine. This is a mechanism that truly strengthens our defense.”

Zelensky noted that the Netherlands has so far contributed $500 million, the joint commitment of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden amounts to another $500 million, and yesterday Germany added another $500 million. “This is very serious support, and I thank Germany for this important step. We continue discussions with other countries. Every contribution under PURL is a direct investment in our ability to protect our people’s lives and bring a just peace closer. I thank all allies who stand by Ukraine.”
