[AA.COM.TR] Denmark, Norway and Sweden announced on Tuesday a $500 million military aid package for Ukraine, as part of NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
's newly launched Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative, the defense alliance announced.

The package, which will include equipment and munitions sourced from the US, marks the second round of funding under the PURL mechanism.

It follows a separate $500 million artillery and ammunition package announced by the Netherlands on Monday.

Together, the two tranches amount to more than $1 billion in military assistance to Ukraine under the PURL initiative, which aims to ensure regular deliveries of critical supplies to Ukrainian forces.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed the announcement, praising the three Nordic countries for their swift action and continued support for Kyiv.

"Grateful to Denmark, Norway & Sweden for fast action to fund a package of US military support for Ukraine. This will deliver life-saving equipment & critical supplies to the front-line, strengthening Ukraine's hand & helping them deter aggression as they pursue lasting peace," he wrote on X.

The PURL initiative is designed to consolidate and streamline allied contributions, placing Ukraine in the strongest possible position against Russia, as peace efforts led by US President Donald Trump

and his administration continue.

US State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said Tuesday that more than $1 billion in life saving, top American equipment will allow Ukraine to protect critical infrastructure and civilian lives.

"These commitments deliver on President Trump's initiative to facilitate billions of dollars in investment to the United States defense industry and create American jobs while ensuring Europa

can ultimately defend itself long term," she added.

The Pentagon said separately that the State Department approved the potential sale of repair and sustainment support for M777 howitzer artillery guns and transportation and consolidation services to Ukraine for an estimated cost of $203.5 million
