The Netherlands has announced a €500m ($578m) military aid package for Ukraine as part of a new NATO program, the Dutch Defense Ministry said Monday.
This marks the first contribution to the US-led Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), a recently launched initiative through which NATO members finance military supplies for Ukraine sourced from US stockpiles, Xinhua reported.
The aid will include air defense systems, ammunition, and other critical equipment based on Ukraine’s most urgent needs. The PURL program, launched on July 14 by US President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, aims to bolster ongoing support efforts by streamlining deliveries through newly established logistics hubs.
