US military equipment worth $2 billion delivered to Ukraine under PURL - Rutte
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has said that within the framework of the PURL initiative to supply Ukraine with the necessary American military equipment at the expense of allies, equipment worth $2 billion has already been delivered to Kyiv.
He announced this on Monday in Ljubljana, speaking at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
The PURL initiative - Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List - was established by the United States and other NATO members to supply Ukraine with weapons from a list of prioritized needs. The initiative allows NATO member states to finance the purchase of weapons from the United States for subsequent transfer to Ukraine.
It is assumed that Ukraine will provide partners with requests, on the basis of which a prioritized list of weapons and ammunition will be formed. This list, after approval by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), is financed by NATO member states or other partners.
