The Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) gathers NATO contributions to buy US weapons, ammunition, and equipment.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine expects $3.5 billion next month to purchase American arms and sustain its war effort.
NATO members, excluding the United States, pool resources to support Ukraine’s military.
Zelenskyy stated, “We received over $2 billion from partners for the PURL program.”
He added, “We will get more funds in October and expect around $3.5–3.6 billion.”
Zelenskyy did not reveal details of the first shipments but confirmed Patriot missiles and HIMARS munitions.
Patriot systems defend Ukraine from Russian missile attacks, while HIMARS enhance its precision-strike capabilities.
Conflict Continues Despite Diplomacy
The war has lasted more than three years, and US-led peace efforts have not produced results.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia remains open to negotiations and favors diplomatic solutions.
Moscow objected to key proposals, preventing progress in talks.
Officials reported that Russian overnight aerial strikes disrupted Ukraine’s rail and power networks.
Regional head Oleksandr Prokudin said a Russian glide bomb hit a southern town in Kherson, injuring three women and a three-year-old girl.
Investment Fund Targets Ukrainian Minerals
Ukraine announced a $150 million US-Ukraine fund to attract investment in its mineral sector.
The US International Development Finance Corporation will provide $75 million, and Ukraine will match the contribution, Economy Minister Oleksii Sobolev said.
Sobolev called the fund a “beacon” and said it can attract further support from international institutions.
The April US-Ukraine agreement gives the US priority access to new mining projects while supporting reconstruction and military aid.
Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko said the fund will focus on energy, infrastructure, and critical mineral projects.
She aims to finance three projects by the end of 2026.
