Weapons deliveries to Ukraine under PURL continue uninterrupted -- Rutte
Over the past year, the Allies have allocated more than $10 billion to PURL and the program for the sale of U.S. military equipment abroad for Ukraine, and deliveries of U.S. weapons to Ukraine continue uninterrupted.
Ukraine war set to drag on for years, according to Pentagon official Elbridge Colby. Speaking at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group on September 8, Colby warned that Europe must brace itself for a protracted conflict and Ukraine's ongoing needs. Speaking of the current situation, Colby emphasized the importance of Europe's continued, and potentially increased, support for Ukraine's battlefield requirements via the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL).
Colby stressed that the steady delivery of ammunition and critical equipment has proven effective, but it remains absolutely crucial for Ukraine's armed forces to hold the front line and thwart any further Russian advances. Furthermore, Colby urged European nations to initiate stable procurement programs that will sustain Ukraine's long-term rebuilding efforts while concurrently meeting their own defense requirements.
"We must plan and implement our investments based on military effectiveness, not secondary objectives," Colby asserted.
