Reference
The PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List) program is a new US and NATO initiative to accelerate the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Under this program, Kyiv forms a list of priority weapons needs, which is then passed on to NATO partners.
Allied countries, in turn, finance the purchase of American weapons that meet this list. Funds are transferred to a special NATO account, and weapons are purchased directly from the United States.
Addition
EU diplomacy chief Kaja Kallas announced that the European Union is allocating the first 10 million euros to the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.
Kallas also noted that work is ongoing in the European Union on the issue of using frozen Russian assets.
