Zelensky says Ukraine's PURL air defense plan needs $15B in 2026

 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that Ukraine's Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) air defense program will require $15 billion in 2026.

"The overall need for PURL in 2026 amounts to $15 billion. This will help deny Russia the leverage of aerial terror, and we encourage everyone who is interested in security to join and expand their contributions to PURL," he said on X.

"I am grateful to everyone who contributes to PURL," Zelenskyy emphasized, noting that the United Kingdom, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, and Latvia have already pledged a combined $584 million this year. He said the program allows Ukraine to buy US-made air defense missiles that "most effectively counter Russian ballistic threats," helping protect the country's energy grid during winter.
