Zelenskyy, Rutte discuss attracting new contributions to PURL program

In Yerevan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte the implementation of the PURL program and attracting new contributions from partners.

“It is important that Mark has confirmed that the program is working and anti-ballistic missiles will continue to be supplied to Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said on Telegram following the meeting.

The president emphasized the importance of deepening defense cooperation between Ukraine and NATO members, implementing joint projects and working on joint production.

Zelenskyy also thanked Rutte for supporting Ukraine and the PURL program, which makes it possible to defend against Russia’s ballistic strikes.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Yerevan, Armenia, to take part in the European Political Community summit.

The European Political Community summit is an important platform for coordinating efforts in the areas of security, energy and economic stability on the continent. The European Political Community was established in 2022, shortly after the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This format was created as a tool to strengthen the continent’s security architecture and demonstrate Russia’s international isolation.
