Overview

• The Netherlands became the first NATO member to use the PURL mechanism by committing €500 million to buy U.S. Patriot system components and missiles for Ukraine.
• Denmark, Norway and Sweden followed with a joint $500 million pledge to fund U.S. air-defense munitions, anti-tank weapons and spare parts under the same framework.
• NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Alexus Grynkewich is validating each package to match Ukraine’s priority needs and coordinating shipments every two to three weeks from American stockpiles.
• Kyiv has sounded the alarm over critical air-defense shortages, requesting at least seven additional Patriot battery systems to counter intensified Russian missile and drone operations.
• U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said more allies are expected to announce PURL contributions in the coming weeks to sustain collective support for Ukraine.
