Overview
- Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden are funding the package, NATO announced in Brussels.
- Valued at $500 million, the shipment covers military equipment and ammunition sourced from the United States.
- The deliveries use the Purl framework, under which allies buy U.S.-made materiel and then transfer it to Ukraine.
- NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed the move, calling it urgently needed ahead of the cold season and noting that further deliveries are expected.
- Germany previously committed $500 million to Purl, and reporting links the initiative’s design to U.S. demands for greater allied cost-sharing.
