Canada’s military spending officially hits 2% of GDP, NATO says

“It’s a significant change from less than two years ago when Justin Trudeau, the prime minister at the time, disparaged the #NATO target as a “crass mathematical calculation” and said #Canada couldn’t reach it until as late as 2032.”

#Europe now provides the bulk of #military support to Kyiv, including direct provisions separate from #NATO. But #PURL supplies #Ukraine with key #US equipment, including high-end munitions & scarce air defense interceptors. Countries have committed ~$4B for Ukraine through the program….
Since the…attack on #Iran on Feb 28, Europe has become concerned that the #Trump admin is rapidly using up its existing munitions, delaying their own orders & disrupting deliveries of US systems to Ukraine….

…Kyiv’s chief #Europe backers have taken the lead on funding & arming #Ukraine forces since #Trump took office. The #PURL initiative, brokered last year by #NATO, offered a work-around for Ukraine to keep getting #US weaponry, so long as the Europeans pay the bill. The deal provided Trump a political “win” & a way for NATO to quell fears that Kyiv could be left exposed by the admin’s ambition for a peace deal with #Russia.

The weapons that could be diverted away from #Ukraine include air defense interceptor missiles, ordered through a #NATO program launched last year in which partner countries buy #US arms for Kyiv, the 3 people said….

The Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List ( #PURL) initiative has ensured a flow of select #military equipment to Kyiv even as the #Trump admin has cut off most of the #Pentagon’s direct #security assistance.

With the #US focused on its own conflict with #Iran, #Trump is applying pressure to #Ukraine in an effort to bring a quick end to the 4-year war triggered by Russia's 2022 invasion, #Zelensky said.
