Mikhail Fedorov announced a new $4 billion aid package for Ukraine
During the 35th meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine’s Defense in the “Ramstein” format, international partners announced a new, large-scale military aid package worth 4 billion U.S. dollars.
The primary financial and strategic focus of this funding is on significantly strengthening air defense, supplying long-range artillery, and developing Ukraine’s domestic drone production.
The new support program is designed to ensure a stable supply of critically important resources to the Armed Forces of Ukraine directly in the combat zone.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced the official details of these large-scale investments in the defense sector.
According to him, foreign countries are increasingly focusing on funding domestically produced high-tech weapons.
This new approach will not only meet the front lines’ current defense needs but also help develop Ukraine’s military-industrial complex for the long term. Specific financial contributions from each participating country were agreed upon at the meeting.
Nearly $1 billion of the total aid package will be allocated to the special PURL mechanism, which directly supplies Ukraine with missiles for Patriot air defense systems.
Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, and Sweden will make the largest financial contributions to this critically important initiative.
In addition, the German government will allocate an additional $200 million to the JUMPSTART mechanism, created to ensure long-term and uninterrupted procurement of missiles for the Patriot systems.
Another key area of funding will be long-range artillery—partners will allocate approximately $540 million for the procurement of extended-range artillery munitions, with support from Norway, Denmark, Spain, Lithuania, and Luxembourg.
Allies will invest over $1 billion in the development of modern unmanned systems of various deployment types.
As part of this initiative, the United Kingdom will fully fund the procurement of 150,000 Ukrainian drones for frontline units.
At the same time, the Netherlands will provide funding for winged drone missiles for the Defense Forces, and Norway will financially support the procurement of the latest domestically produced maritime drones.
The allies will also continue to invest significant funds in air defense systems, electronic warfare capabilities, infantry fighting vehicles, logistics, training centers, and other critically important capabilities of the Ukrainian army.
This was announced by Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
