Overview
- Ukraine says U.S. officials told G7 counterparts in France that no equipment or funds under the PURL program have been redirected and that no such plans exist.
- Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said another country will join PURL, which purchases U.S.-made systems for Kyiv and remains central to strengthening Ukraine’s air defense.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky reported no partner signals of diversion and said Ukraine tracks how many weapons the U.S. is using against Iran and what Iran seeks from Russia.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is not shifting NATO-purchased weapons meant for Ukraine to the Middle East, though he did not rule out future changes.
- The Washington Post previously reported Pentagon discussions about rerouting some supplies because the Iran war is straining U.S. ammunition stocks, a pressure that could shape later decisions.
