Denmark, Norway, and Sweden to jointly fund $500M military aid package for Ukraine

This is said in a statement issued by the NATO press service, as reported by Ukrinform.

“On Tuesday (5 August 2025) Denmark, Norway and Sweden confirmed that they would fund a $500m package of equipment and munitions for Ukraine sourced from the United States under the new NATO Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative,” the press service said.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte commended the Allies for their fast action and steadfast support for Ukraine.

“Since the earliest days of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have been steadfast in their support for Ukraine. I commend these Allies for their quick efforts to get this initiative off the ground. This latest round of funding will deliver life-saving equipment and critical supplies to the front-line, strengthening Ukraine’s hand and helping them deter aggression as they pursue lasting peace,” the secretary general said.

The press service added that “as with all Allied efforts, the PURL initiative is intended to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position as peace efforts, led by President Trump and his administration, continue”.

As reported by Ukrinform, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans stated on August 4 that the Netherlands would provide Ukraine with a military aid package that includes components and missiles for the U.S. Patriot air defense system.

The NATO Secretary General welcomed the initiative, and President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his gratitude to the Netherlands for its significant contribution to strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
