As part of the "Danish model," the PURL initiative, and the Capabilities Coalition, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry has signed 20 contracts with the defense ministries of partner countries and concluded agreements with 17 NATO partner states.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal announced this on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

Under the "Danish model," over the past three months the ministry has signed 20 contracts with partner defense ministries and manufacturers totaling more than EUR 1.4 billion. In total, EUR 427.8 million has been paid to Ukrainian producers under the model. A new tranche of financing in the amount of EUR 825.9 million has been arranged within the model.

"We are systematically working with partners to increase the volume of weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces through this and other defense initiatives and projects," Shmyhal said.

According to the minister, 17 NATO partner countries pledged contributions to the PURL initiative for procuring U.S. weapons. The total pledged contributions amount to $2.8 billion. The first four weapons packages, exceeding $2 billion, include air and missile defense systems and missiles for them, GMLRS ammunition for HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, and extended-range 155mm artillery rounds.

Within the Capabilities Coalition, partners have delivered more than one million rounds of ammunition, dozens of air and missile defense systems, and over 1,000 interceptor missiles for those systems.
