On Tuesday (5 August 2025) Denmark, Norway and Sweden confirmed that they would fund a $500m package of equipment and munitions for Ukraine sourced from the United States under the new NATO Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte commended the Allies for their fast action and steadfast support for Ukraine.
"Since the earliest days of Russia's full-scale invasion, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have been steadfast in their support for Ukraine. I commend these Allies for their quick efforts to get this initiative off the ground. This latest round of funding will deliver life-saving equipment and critical supplies to the front-line, strengthening Ukraine's hand and helping them deter aggression as they pursue lasting peace."
The announcement swiftly followed the unveiling of the first package of artillery and ammunition worth more than $500m on Monday (4 August 2025) funded by the Netherlands. Together the contributions are valued at over $1bn and represent the first two tranches of regular deliveries to Ukraine under the Alliance's newly-launched PURL initiative.
NATO members provide 99% of military support to Ukraine. As with all Allied efforts, the PURL initiative is intended to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position as peace efforts, led by President Trump and his administration, continue.
