Washington intends to ask NATO for funds to buy American weapons for Ukraine under the PURL programme, Bloomberg reports. Ukrainian media write that the US is preparing a formal appeal to the alliance's member states asking them to provide additional money for the programme.

PURL stands for the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List: through it, allies pay for American weapons for Kyiv.

According to [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com), the funding shortfall for deliveries that have already been approved is 2 billion dollars. Other outlets, citing sources, give roughly the same figure: about two billion for weapons packages already agreed.

According to Bloomberg, the US is sending weapons without waiting for payment from allies.

According to Bloomberg, Washington will demand that NATO increase funding for weapons deliveries to Kyiv. When exactly the request will be sent is not yet known.

The PURL programme was launched in the summer of 2025. In October 2025, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that more than half of the alliance's members had joined it. By December 2025, according to the Polish institute PISM, more than two thirds of NATO countries had announced their participation in the purchases.

In July 2026, according to Ukrainian media reports, allies at the NATO summit in Ankara committed in the final declaration to provide Kyiv with 70 billion euros in military aid for 2026.
