Military aid to Ukraine plummets despite NATO PURL initiative

15.10.2025 ნახვები: 218

Military aid to Ukraine saw a sharp decline in July and August 2025, despite the introduction of NATO's Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative.

That is according to a new study by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy's Ukraine Support Tracker, published on October 14, Ukrinform reports.

The study notes that during the last two summer months, military aid dropped by 43% compared to the first half of the year. Most of the aid delivered during the period came through NATO's new PURL initiative.

After the United States stopped announcing new aid packages at the beginning of 2025, European countries stepped in and significantly expanded their military support. As a result, the monthly average of military aid allocations in the first half of 2025 exceeded those of 2022-2024 –despite the lack of U.S. contributions. However, this momentum collapsed in the summer: military allocations from European countries fell by 57 percent compared to January-June 2025, even when their contributions to the NATO PURL initiative were included. The monthly average of all military aid during this period was thus 43 percent below the level of the first half of 2025.

"As military support for Ukraine increasingly depends on new weapons procurement – which often takes months or even years to implement – the NATO PURL initiative is an important vehicle to provide Ukraine with ready-to-use weapons from U.S. stockpiles. At the same time, the decline in military aid in July and August is surprising. Despite the NATO PURL initiative, Europe is scaling back its overall military support. What will be crucial now is how the figures evolve in the autumn," said Christoph Trebesch, head of the Ukraine Support Tracker and Research Director at the Kiel Institute.

Meanwhile, financial and humanitarian aid remained stable and is provided primarily by EU institutions. Between July and August, EUR 7.5 billion in financial and humanitarian aid was allocated, which is in line with previous years and the first half of this year. Of the newly allocated funds, 86 percent originate from EU institutions, including new tranches under the Ukraine Facility (EUR 5.4 billion) and the ERA Loan Mechanism (EUR 1 billion).

"The overall level of financial and humanitarian support has remained comparatively stable – even in the absence of U.S. contributions. It is now crucial that this stability extends to military support as well, as Ukraine relies on it to sustain its defense efforts on the ground," Trebesch said.

The PURL initiative, agreed in July at a meeting between NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and U.S. President Donald Trump, allows NATO to purchase ready-to-use weapons from U.S. stockpiles for Ukraine, financed by other member states. By August, eight NATO countries participated in the initiative, including Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, contributing a total of EUR 1.9 billion.

The Ukraine Support Tracker tracks and quantifies military, financial, and humanitarian assistance pledged to Ukraine since January 24, 2022. Included are 41 countries, specifically the EU member states, the other members of the G7, Australia, South Korea, Turkey, Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, Turkey, China, Taiwan, India, and Iceland.

Data sources include official government announcements and international media reports. Aid in kind, such as medical supplies, food, or military equipment, is estimated using market prices or information from previous relief operations.
