NATO General Secretary: 90% of missiles for air defense arrived in Ukraine under the PURL program

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that 90 percent of air defense missiles have been delivered to Ukraine under the PURL program.

According to The Daily Baku, citing Interfax-Ukraine, he made this statement in Kyiv at the opening of the 15th session of the Verkhovna Rada.

"Last summer, we provided 75 percent of all missiles delivered to Ukraine, and 90 percent for air defense," he said in a speech broadcast and translated into Ukrainian by the Rada TV channel.

He also noted that NATO will continue to support Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia.

"Dear members of the Rada, a strong team, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who are determined to end this war: rest assured that NATO stands with Ukraine and is ready to do so for years to come. Your security is our security. Your peace is our peace. And it must be just and lasting, so that Ukraine is strong and free, and Russia knows that this reality will remain a reality for a long time," he said.

Rutte assured that NATO will continue to exert pressure on Russia and will continue its support for Ukraine.

PURL (Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List) is a joint US-NATO program launched for the rapid procurement and delivery of modern weapons systems to Ukraine.
