Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will be able to purchase weapons worth $1-1.5 billion monthly through the NATO-backed Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program. This aid is part of the United States’ support for Ukraine’s defense efforts, which has been a key focus since the Russian invasion in 2022.
The PURL program allows Ukraine to prioritize its military needs and ensures a steady supply of critical equipment, including tanks, artillery, and air defense systems. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of this aid in maintaining Ukraine’s ability to defend its territory and push back against Russian advances.
U.S. support for Ukraine has been a major political and military focus in recent years, with Congress approving multiple rounds of aid packages. The latest agreement underscores the continued commitment of NATO allies to supporting Ukraine’s defense capabilities. The exact details of the PURL program’s implementation and the distribution of funds are being coordinated between Washington and Kyiv.
