The U.S. and its NATO allies are developing a scheme that will allow European countries to transfer funds into a special U.S. account to finance the purchase and delivery of American weapons to Ukraine.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that this mechanism is called PURL (Priority Ukraine Requirements List).

The process will begin as follows: Kyiv will compile a list of its most urgent weapon needs in packages worth roughly $500 million. If a European country is willing to supply Ukraine with any item from that list, it will be allowed to directly order the same item from the U.S. without going through lengthy arms supply approval procedures—as long as payment is made upfront.

Additionally, European nations will also be able to order the listed weapons directly from the U.S. or via NATO, bypassing traditional processes and accelerating deliveries as well as the replenishment of allied stockpiles. One such package is already under discussion.

The report states that through this method, allies aim to deliver $10 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine. While the goal is described as ambitious, no specific timeline has been disclosed.

Importantly, this initiative will run in parallel with the Presidential Drawdown Authority, the U.S. program for emergency weapons transfers from its own reserves.
