The Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) collects NATO contributions to purchase US weapons, munitions, and military equipment.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine expects $3.5 billion by next month to acquire American arms and sustain its defense against Russia.
All NATO members, excluding the United States, contribute to PURL to strengthen Ukraine’s military capabilities.
Zelenskyy said, “We received more than $2 billion from our partners specifically for PURL.”
He added, “We will receive additional funds in October, totaling around $3.5–3.6 billion.”
Zelenskyy did not reveal specific weapons in the first shipments but confirmed they will include Patriot missiles and HIMARS munitions.
Patriot systems protect Ukraine from Russian missile strikes. HIMARS have strengthened the military’s precision-strike capacity.
War Continues Amid Stalled Peace Talks
The conflict has lasted over three years, and US-led diplomatic efforts have not produced peace.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, “We remain open to negotiations and prefer political and diplomatic solutions.”
Moscow rejected key proposals, leaving negotiations without progress.
Russian overnight aerial strikes disrupted Ukrainian rail and power services, officials reported.
A Russian glide bomb hit a town in Kherson, wounding three women and a three-year-old girl, Oleksandr Prokudin said.
US-Ukraine Investment Boosts Mineral Sector
Ukraine and the US will launch a $150 million fund to attract investments in the mineral industry.
The US International Development Finance Corporation will provide $75 million, and Ukraine will match that contribution, Economy Minister Oleksii Sobolev said.
Sobolev called the fund a “beacon” capable of drawing additional support from international institutions.
The April US-Ukraine agreement grants Washington preferential access to new mining projects, encourages reconstruction, and supports continued military aid.
Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said the fund will initially target energy, infrastructure, and critical mineral projects, aiming to finance three initiatives by 2026.
