The United States and NATO are developing a new mechanism to supply weapons to Ukraine using funds pooled from allied nations, according to multiple sources. The initiative aims to streamline arms deliveries as Russian forces continue advancing and occupying about one-fifth of Ukraine’s territory.
Under the plan, Ukraine will submit priority weapons requests from the Priority Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) in tranches of roughly $500 million. NATO members, coordinated by Secretary General Mark Rutte, will negotiate contributions—either donating arms or funding purchases. The target is to provide up to $10 billion in weapons, though the timeline remains unclear.
This voluntary effort includes a NATO-controlled account where member nations can deposit funds for approved arms transfers. A U.S.-held account, possibly managed by the Treasury Department, is also being considered to expedite replenishment of donated stocks. This approach is designed to bypass lengthy U.S. arms sales procedures and accelerate resupply for participating allies.
The mechanism will complement the existing U.S. Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows Washington to send weapons directly from its own stockpiles. At least one tranche of weapons is currently under negotiation, though it is unclear if funding transfers have begun.
President Donald Trump, frustrated by Moscow’s continued aggression, recently warned of tariffs and other measures against Russia if no progress toward ending the war is made by August 8. The PEACE Act, introduced by congressional Republicans, proposes a similar fund to support replenishment of U.S. military equipment sent to Ukraine.
Ukraine’s immediate needs remain unchanged—air defense systems, interceptors, rockets, and artillery. These requirements were reaffirmed in a recent Ramstein group meeting led by Britain and Germany.
This coordinated NATO-U.S. approach signals renewed transatlantic commitment to Ukraine as the war enters its fourth year.
