He emphasized the importance of the PURL initiative, which supplies the Defence Forces of Ukraine with critical weapons, and noted ongoing work with partners to extend both PURL and the U.S. JUMPSTART mechanism. These efforts are aimed at ensuring the long-term supply of critical U.S.-made weapons for Ukraine.
“To protect the sky, it is crucial to have, as soon as possible, a clear forecast of air defence missile deliveries for this year and to build reliable supplies for the years to come,” Fedorov said. The sides also discussed organizing joint analytics on the use of key U.S. systems, including Patriot and HIMARS, using battlefield data to jointly improve their effectiveness.
Laser-guided artillery munitions were identified as another priority, as they significantly enhance accuracy and depth of engagement, and Ukraine is counting on U.S. support in this area. “We also gave particular attention to implementing the large-scale Drone Deal. We are working to enable U.S. partners to directly test Ukrainian drones without unnecessary bureaucracy. I am grateful for the constructive dialogue and the consistent support for Ukraine,” Fedorov said.
