All weapons paid for by allies under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List, including air-defense interceptors, are reaching Ukraine, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexus Grynkewich said at a joint press conference in Brussels on 19 May 2026.
The program, through which partner countries finance US-made weapons for Ukraine, has drawn nearly $5.5 billion in pledges, with allies continuing to add packages in recent weeks.
What Grynkewich said in Brussels
"Regarding PURL, I want to assure you that everything Allies have paid for is flowing, including air defence interceptors that the Ukrainians so urgently need," Grynkewich said.
He added that "Ukraine needs persistent and predictable support from Allies" and that "this is why support for Ukraine through the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, and any other means remains critical."
By investing in Ukraine allies are not only protecting the country's population, defending its critical infrastructure, and sustaining its fight, but are also investing in European security, Grynkewich said.
Recent allied contributions to PURL
Norway allocated $300 million earlier in May for a new PURL package containing missiles for Patriot air-defense systems, ArmiyaInform reported.
Canada announced an additional $200 million for arms purchases for Ukraine's defense forces under the same program, ArmiyaInform reported.
Air-defense interception rate
The interception rate against aerial targets has risen to almost 90 percent in recent months even as Shahed strike numbers have grown, ArmiyaInform reported.
Ukraine is also scaling production of interceptor drones, which the outlet described as a Ukrainian game-changer in air defense.
