NATO countries have financed a new arms package for Ukraine: the amount has been named

The Nordic and Baltic countries have announced a new $500 million support package for Ukraine, which will be used to purchase American weapons and ammunition. The funds are being provided by Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden as part of NATO’s PURL initiative.

This was reported by the Alliance’s press service.

NATO specifies that the weapons will be purchased directly from the United States, and the supplies will strengthen Ukraine’s capabilities ahead of winter. The investments are directed at equipment and ammunition, which are on Ukraine’s priority list of needs.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said he fully supported the decision of the Nordic and Baltic allies. He stressed that the additional funding allows Ukraine to receive critical equipment exactly when it is needed most. Rutte stressed that the Alliance will continue to provide Ukraine with the necessary means.

It was previously reported that the European Union provided Ukraine with financial assistance in the amount of €5.9 billion .

As a reminder, the European Commission has developed a new initiative that involves using profits from frozen Russian assets to finance a large-scale loan to Ukraine.
