Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

Russians are calling the agreement a "basis" or a "foundation" meaning they would be asking for more shit from that agreement.

I am pretty sure the oil attack on Kazakhstan works against the interests of the US trying to drive a wedge between Russia and Kazakhstan.

PURL packages are valued at $500 million usd, therefore, the Dutch will be teaming up with an undisclosed nation (at least to this point) who will provide the other $210 million usd to complete the purchase. The package will will consist of the following:

Italy has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, it's 12th package of the war. In keeping with Italian "tradition" the contents of the package have not been divulged, although anonymous sources have stated that the package contains, among other things, armored vehicles and SAMP/T air defense missiles.

Italy also signaled that they will join the list of countries contributing to the PURL initiative to buy U.S. made weapons directly for Ukraine. The Italians did not announce how much money they'd be donating to the PURL purchase.

Today Luxembourg announced a $17 million usd pledge towards a PURL package from the United States .

Meanwhile, Germany , Norway and Poland indicated that they will team up to jointly fund a PURL package in December.

Politico is reporting that Australia and New Zealand are expected to jointly announce their co-funding of a package in the coming days.

Mark Rutte has indeed indicated that the goal is for Ukraine's allies to contribute AT LEAST $1 Billion usd per month to the PURL initiative in 2026. That would include the purchase of 24 packages, valued $500 million usd each. Rutte also noted that while the majority of Europe's key players + allies in Canada , Australia and New Zealand have joined the funding initiative, some key funders have not yet made their intentions known. Italy has agreed to provide funds, but hasn't detailed how much support they are willing to contribute. Meanwhile, Britain and France have not yet contributed to PURL, instead focusing on domestically made weapons for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Greece , Portugal and the Czech Republic are examples of mid sized European countries Rutte and the rest of the EU hope to convince to step up.

If Ukraine's Allies are going to fund the $12 Billion usd project in 2026, I suspect it would like something like the following....

Germany : $2 Billion usd
Norway : $1.25 Billion usd
Canada : $1.25 Billion usd
Netherlands : $1Billion usd
Spain : $1 Billion usd
Sweden : $750 Million usd
Denmark : $750 Million usd
