“ US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said that by the end of 2025, the PURL initiative to purchase US weapons for Ukraine could raise another two billion dollars in the coming months. Source: “European Truth” with reference to his interview with Bloomberg Details: According to Whitaker, under the PURL mechanism, “obligations are gradually being met.” “Another $2 billion or more we expect to raise (via PURL. – Ed.) in the next few months, and we hope to do so very soon,” he added. The American ambassador expects that in 2026, through PURL, they plan to collect 12-15 billion dollars, “necessary for the purchase of extremely important weapons that Ukraine needs for self-defense and to continue fighting on the front lines.” “And I think this is another example of how Europe is stepping up, how our NATO allies here on the continent are stepping up and supporting Ukraine in protecting, ultimately, the European continent,” Whitaker said. As a reminder, within the framework of the PURL program, launched by President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in July 2025, NATO allies are buying American weapons for Ukraine. As of October, $2 billion had been raised through PURL. In the same month, within the framework of the meeting of the defense ministers of the Alliance states, it became known about the inclusion of the vast majority of NATO members in the program.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
