  Promises exist, but funds are lacking: 
NATO countries are short by approximately €7 billion for military aid to Kiev .

According to Politico, citing diplomats, there is a “certain fatigue” among the alliance’s largest donors regarding funding for Ukraine. The funding shortfall may complicate the procurement of critical equipment to counter rocket attacks and drone strikes this winter.

The PURL program, under which European countries purchase American weapons for Kiev is also at risk. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had hoped to raise over €13 billion for it in 2026, but diplomats doubt that this goal will be met.
