US-NATO talks on Ukraine — what is known

According to 3 insiders, Alliance members, the US, and Ukraine are actively working on creating a new mechanism.

Its main goal is to supply Kyiv with weapons from the list of priority needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, known under the acronym PURL.

Under the new plan, Ukraine will independently select the priority weapons it needs, in tranches of approximately $500 million, and NATO allies, coordinated by Secretary General Mark Rutte, will evaluate the selection.

Kyiv's allies believe that this approach will make it possible to provide Ukraine with weapons worth $10 billion.

"This is a starting point, and this is an ambitious goal that we are striving for. We are moving in this direction now. We support this ambition. We need this volume," one of the insiders told reporters.

The new approach will make it possible to de facto bypass the lengthy procedures for selling weapons to the US to replenish its own stocks.
