At 30th Ramstein Meeting, Allies Pledge Patriots, Ammunition and Drone Funding for Ukraine

Allied promises now hinge on rapid delivery with European industrial coordination to meet Ukraine’s urgent air‑defence and long‑range needs.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s government said partners agreed new air‑defence deliveries and confirmed continued financing for PURL purchases of U.S. weapons following the London session.
  • The EU pledged 2 million artillery rounds, reported 80% already accumulated, and is considering directing €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility toward U.S. equipment for Ukraine.
  • Germany committed two Patriot systems, €500 million for the PURL initiative, and €300 million for procuring Ukrainian long‑range drones.
  • The UK reported more than £2 billion secured via the International Fund for Ukraine, deliveries including over 1,000 air‑defence systems and 600+ uncrewed systems, and funding for several thousand UK‑built long‑range attack drones over the next year.
  • NATO and UK leaders affirmed allied unity and progress integrating U.S. support into Coalition of the Willing plans, as experts warned effectiveness could falter without reliable U.S. backing and a clearer European strategy.
