Funding for this package is being channelled through the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative, a joint mechanism established by Nato and the US.
Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said: “Our Nordic and Baltic Allies are stepping up to fund a further package of critical military equipment for Ukraine. This equipment is extremely important as Ukraine enters the winter months, and deliveries through PURL are flowing into Ukraine. Nato Allies will continue to deliver essential equipment and supplies.”
The PURL, first introduced in July 2025 by the US President and the Nato Secretary General, enables European allies and Canada to finance weapons procurement to meet Ukraine’s needs.
Under this system, participating nations contribute funds that are used to procure weapons and equipment from the US, based on a prioritised list of requirements determined by Ukraine and jointly agreed with both Nato and US officials.
