NATO members contribute to the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) to purchase US weapons, munitions, and equipment.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine expects $3.5 billion next month to buy American arms and sustain its war effort.
Excluding the United States, NATO allies pool funds specifically for the PURL program.
Zelenskyy announced, “We received over $2 billion from our partners for PURL.”
He added, “We will receive more in October, reaching $3.5–3.6 billion.”
Zelenskyy did not disclose all weapons in the first shipments but confirmed they will include Patriot missiles and HIMARS munitions.
Patriot systems defend Ukraine against Russian missile attacks, while HIMARS significantly boost precision-strike capabilities.
Conflict Persists as Peace Talks Stall
The war has lasted more than three years with no end in sight despite US-led diplomatic efforts.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Russia remains open to negotiations and prefers political solutions.
Moscow objected to major proposals, stalling progress in peace talks.
Recent Russian overnight airstrikes disrupted Ukrainian rail and power services, officials reported.
A Russian glide bomb struck a southern Kherson town, wounding three women and a three-year-old girl, regional head Oleksandr Prokudin said.
US-Ukraine Fund Targets Mineral and Infrastructure Projects
Ukraine will launch a $150 million US-Ukraine investment fund for the mineral sector, officials said.
The US International Development Finance Corporation will contribute $75 million, and Ukraine will match the funding, Economy Minister Oleksii Sobolev said.
Sobolev called the fund a “beacon” to attract further international support.
The April US-Ukraine deal grants Washington preferential access to new mining projects and supports reconstruction while maintaining military aid.
Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said the fund will prioritize energy, infrastructure, and critical mineral projects, targeting three projects by the end of 2026.
