Total contributions under PURL have reached $6.7 billion, according to the ministry. The initiative brings together 26 NATO member states and three partner countries to finance priority weapons deliveries agreed by Ukraine, the United States and NATO.
Kyiv identified Patriot interceptors as one of the most important results of the program. The ministry said around 95% of Patriot missiles, including PAC-3 interceptors, now reach Ukraine through purchases of U.S. weapons by European countries under PURL.
The focus on Patriot reflects Ukraine’s continuing need to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks against cities, civilians and critical infrastructure. The ministry said PURL has a direct impact on Ukraine’s ability to shoot down ballistic missiles and save lives.
PURL was launched in July 2025 as a U.S. and NATO initiative. It allows Alliance members and partners to fund deliveries of U.S.-made weapons and equipment that Ukraine has identified as critical.
The mechanism is based on a priority list prepared by Ukraine and agreed with the United States and NATO. It covers weapons needed by front-line forces and systems that cannot always be quickly replaced with European alternatives.
Under the process, Ukraine identifies urgent requirements including air defense systems, interceptor missiles, artillery ammunition and other strategic components. Ukraine, the United States and NATO then agree packages of U.S. weapons worth around $500 million each.
NATO members and partner countries provide funding into a joint package. The United States uses those funds to supply the required weapons, equipment and ammunition to Ukraine.
The largest contributions in 2025 and 2026 came from Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada and Sweden. Norway provided $1.36 billion, the Netherlands $1.163 billion, Germany $900 million, Canada $834 million and Sweden $546 million.
The ministry said the mechanism helps Ukraine meet critical front-line needs faster. It also said PURL allows partner resources to be directed more precisely toward the equipment Ukraine needs at a given moment.
Ukraine said the pooled structure simplifies administrative coordination and reduces duplication among donors. That matters most for high-demand capabilities such as Patriot interceptors, where regular supply affects the country’s ability to withstand ballistic missile attacks.
The next goal is stable funding from partners to sustain deliveries of critical weapons. The ministry said regular contributions would help meet Ukraine’s needs systematically, including for air defense missiles, artillery ammunition and other battlefield requirements.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense thanked the United States, NATO, the teams operating the PURL mechanism and each country contributing to the initiative. The ministry said continued partner support remains important for weapons that have a direct impact on the battlefield and on the protection of Ukrainian civilians.
