The United States and its NATO allies have created a new financial instrument that will allow for much faster delivery of weapons to Ukraine. According to Reuters , the first aid packages have already received official approval.
This is a program called PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List). Within its framework, Kyiv determines the priority needs for weapons, and NATO allies finance their purchase. The funds are deposited into a special account of the Alliance, after which the weapons are purchased directly from the United States. This approach allows you to avoid delays and direct resources to those systems that the Ukrainian army needs most.
According to sources, the US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge Colby, has already approved the first two aid packages, totaling $500 million. These weapons will be shipped in the near future.
Thus, the Donald Trump administration is resuming arms supplies to Ukraine, but already in the format of joint financing with NATO allies. The new mechanism could be key to quickly strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the war against Russia.
