(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Prime Minister Luc Frieden announced this during a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, a Ukrinforn correspondent reports.

“We will finance, together with other countries which we still have to identify, a package of already available arms, to a large extent American arms, that we will provide to Ukraine,” the Prime Minister said, adding that those countries will be identified in the next few weeks.

According to Frieden, each PURL package typically costs $500 million, meaning that smaller nations need to find partners for joint procurement.

For his part, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte recalled that over the past few weeks, NATO allies had already raised $2 billion to purchase“vital lethal, sometimes also more defensive systems” for Ukraine under the PURL initiative. The packages have included, in particular, air defense capabilities and ammunition.
