Belgium to provide Ukraine with additional €100 million in military aid

Belgium will provide Ukraine with an additional €100 million in military aid in 2025 as part of NATO’s new initiative, the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List.

Ukraine’s Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal noted on X that these funds will be allocated in addition to the €1 billion in military aid Belgium has already provided.

"I am grateful to my counterpart Theo Francken, as well as to the Belgian people and Government for supporting Ukraine in our fight for freedom," Shmyhal added.

The US and NATO have launched a new mechanism for providing American weapons to Ukraine – the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), which envisages funding through contributions from other Alliance members.

The Netherlands has prepared a €500 million package under PURL, including components and missiles for the Patriot air defence system. 

On 24 August it was reported that Norway is allocating around NOK 7 billion (about US$695.7 million) for Ukraine’s air defence.
