Ukraine’s Defense Minister meets Rutte in Brussels
Shmyhal noted on Telegram that he expressed gratitude to Rutte for his “leadership and support” and provided updates on the battlefield situation and Ukraine’s critical defense priorities. The discussion focused on enhancing Ukraine’s air defense capabilities.
“The key issue is strengthening air defense. To deter Russia’s missile and drone terror, additional air defense systems and interceptors are required,” Shmyhal said, emphasizing that the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative remains “critically important” for ensuring stable supplies of ammunition and equipment.
He also highlighted that Ukraine continues to align its defense sector with NATO standards and is moving forward with collaborative projects alongside international partners.
The PURL initiative, coordinated by the US and NATO, allows European and Canadian NATO members to fund the acquisition of American-made weapons for Ukraine.
