Ukraine has received $2 billion in military aid from international partners through the U.S.-backed PURL programme, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Wednesday.
An additional tranche of $3.5–$3.6 billion is expected in October, he said, with the first two packages — valued at $500 million each — including rockets for Patriots and HIMARS systems.
Zelenskyy outlined his vision for Ukraine’s long-term security, calling for a stronger national army, financial support from allies, and security guarantees akin to NATO’s Article 5 collective defence clause.
“We have agreed on what we need in the sky, at sea, and on land. Our partners understand the scale of these needs, and it’s vital they can provide support,” he said on Telegram.
The president also stressed the importance of sanctions against Russia and the use of its frozen assets to help cover the war’s cost, estimated at $120 billion annually. Half comes from Ukraine’s budget, with the remainder requiring international financing.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine is seeking bilateral security solutions with the United States while continuing to press for sustained military and financial aid from allies.
