NATO's Rutte says allies have directed over $10 billion to PURL initiative for Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that allies have directed more than $10 billion over the past year to the PURL initiative and to purchases of US weapons for Ukraine, including $3.5 billion from an EU loan. The announcement came as the Ramstein-format Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine met virtually on September 8, co-chaired by Germany and the United Kingdom, with urgent reinforcement of Ukraine's air defenses ahead of winter as the central topic.
