Ukraine expects to raise approximately 3.5 billion dollars by October into a fund for the purchase of weapons from the USA, Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday.

The Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) brings together financial contributions from NATO members, excluding the USA, for the procurement of military equipment. President Zelensky announced that Ukraine has already received 2 billion dollars and expects 3.5–3.6 billion in October, for Patriot missiles and HIMARS munitions. Although Russia expresses its willingness for negotiations, airstrikes continue, causing destruction. Additionally, a new US-Ukraine fund of 150 million dollars will support the Ukrainian mining sector.
