NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Wednesday appeared confident that Ukraine's allies will have committed $5 billion (€4.3 billion) by the end of the year to purchase US-made weapons to ensure continued flow of such equipment to Kyiv following Washington's freeze on military donations to the war-torn country.
According to Rutte, allies have now pledged billions in US military purchases under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative, which sees NATO coordinate the purchase of equipment Ukraine needs from US stockpiles.
