On February 3, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that not all alliance members are actively purchasing weapons from the United States for Ukraine during a speech to the Ukrainian parliament.
“At the moment, some allies are doing a lot. Many allies are doing something, some are not doing anything,” Rutte said.
The Dutch official also noted that two-thirds of NATO’s allies currently participate in the PURL program and emphasized the need for more equitable burden-sharing within the alliance.
Sweden and Denmark purchased $290 million worth of air defense systems for Ukraine on February 3, with Sweden contributing approximately $235 million for Tridon anti-aircraft missile systems and Denmark providing about $5.2 million.
