NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Thursday’s meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels was defined by a “window of opportunity” for Ukraine, pointing to a new wave of concrete pledges of military assistance from allied countries.
According to Ukrinform, several allies – including Germany, the Netherlands, Latvia, Norway, Lithuania, Denmark, Luxembourg, Croatia, Sweden and Iceland – have now committed hundreds of millions of dollars into the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program, which finances purchases of US-made military equipment for Ukraine.
“Window of opportunity – I think this is the main topic today,” Rutte said, adding that additional “assistance focused on Ukraine’s priorities will help increase pressure on Russia and force them to sit down at the negotiating table and eventually join serious negotiations to stop this terrible war.”
