United States to request NATO funding for Ukraine weapons program
The United States is preparing to ask NATO allies for additional funding to cover a deficit in the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program. This initiative allows member states to finance the purchase of American-made weapons and military equipment for Kyiv.
According to sources cited by Bloomberg, there is currently a funding gap of approximately 2 billion dollars for weapons packages that have already been approved. The U.S. may issue a formal request for these funds as early as November. Reports indicate that the Pentagon has continued to deliver military hardware, including critical air defense systems, to Ukraine before receiving the full corresponding payments from allies.
The financial deficit could grow if the Pentagon approves further shipments. This move comes amid political tensions regarding U.S. support for Ukraine, though the continuation of the PURL program suggests that military aid efforts remain active despite diplomatic shifts.
