Allies Pledge $35 Billion for Ukraine in 2026, Prioritize Air Defense

Partners accelerate pooled procurement to counter winter strikes on Ukraine’s power grid.

Overview

  • The United Kingdom announced more than £500 million focused on air defense, including 1,000 British-made small missiles valued at £390 million.
  • London will allocate about £150 million to a NATO-backed mechanism to purchase U.S. weapons for Kyiv.
  • Germany will deliver five PAC-3 interceptors for Ukraine and urged partners to provide at least thirty more.
  • Officials said the roughly $35 billion total for 2026 reflects a mix of new pledges and previously announced commitments.
  • Ministers framed the push as urgent after large-scale Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy network caused widespread heat and power outages in winter.
