Overview
- NATO Deputy Secretary General Radmila Šekerinska met Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha in Kyiv to review Ukraine’s priority military needs and funding options.
- The talks centered on increasing allied contributions to the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List, which reporting describes as a vehicle for NATO members to fund purchases of U.S. weapons for Ukraine.
- Sybiha briefed Šekerinska on the latest missile and drone attacks and underscored urgent gaps in air defence and other capabilities.
- Both sides said Russian strikes undermine U.S.-led peace efforts involving President Trump, and they signaled preparation for coordination at the upcoming NATO–Ukraine Council ministerial; media also links the visit to recent U.S.–Ukraine Geneva talks on a 19-point package and a separate 28-point U.S. plan.
- Šekerinska also met Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko to discuss protection of critical infrastructure and economic security, as Ukraine cited more than $3 billion committed to PURL by nearly 20 countries.
