Norway, the Netherlands and Germany announce USD 500 million in funding for PURL support package for Ukraine

News story | Date: 03/12/2025

At the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels today, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany announced that they will fund a new USD 500 million package of defence materiel for Ukraine sourced from the United States and delivered under the US-NATO Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative.

The package includes air defence equipment, ammunition and other essential equipment. The deliveries will be coordinated by NATO, in part through the logistical operation NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU).

'It is important that Norway and the rest of Europe continue to demonstrate strong support for Ukraine politically, economically and militarily. The goal is to assist Ukraine in achieving peace on its own terms. Norway will continue its extraordinary support for Ukraine in 2026. Critical equipment worth billions of US dollars has been funded by Allies since the first PURL package in August. This equipment is crucial as Ukraine enters another winter of war. Ukraine must be provided with the equipment and munitions it needs to defend itself today, achieve a lasting peace and deter any future aggression,' said Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.

Support provided to Ukraine through the PURL mechanism complements other ongoing initiatives to assist Ukraine as well as a range of other crucial Allied initiatives. Ultimately, support to Ukraine is an investment in our European security.

Arms deliveries through the PURL initiative form the basis for the defence of Ukrainian skies just as Russia is intensifying its targeted attacks on energy infrastructure before the onset of winter.

PURL has proved to be an effective mechanism for maintaining a stable supply of US weapons which strengthens Ukraine's combat capability and, in turn, enhances the security of the entire European continent.
