NATO: All US Arms Ordered by Allies for Kyiv Have Been Delivered

Thursday, 26 March 2026 02:34 PM EDT

NATO said Thursday that all U.S. weapons for Ukraine funded by Kyiv's allies through a special NATO program had been delivered or continue to flow to the country.

The statement came after the Washington Post reported the Pentagon was weighing whether to redirect weapons originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle East, as the war in Iran strains supplies of some of the U.S. military's most critical munitions.

"Everything that NATO Allies and partners have paid for through PURL has been delivered or continues to flow to Ukraine," NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said, referring to the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List scheme.

The Pentagon is weighing whether to redirect weapons originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle East, as the war in Iran strains supplies of some of the U.S. military's most critical munitions, the Washington Post reported Thursday, citing three people familiar with the matter.

President Donald Trump said later Thursday that the U.S. often diverts weapons from one region to another, responding to reports that the Pentagon might redirect weapons originally meant for Ukraine to the Middle East.

"We do that all the time," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting in the White House. "Sometimes we take from one, and we use for another."

The weapons that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the report said.

The consideration comes as U.S. operations in the region intensify. Admiral Brad Cooper, the Central Command chief leading U.S. forces in the Middle East, on Wednesday said the U.S. had hit over 10,000 targets inside Iran and was on track to limit Iran's ability to project power outside its borders.

A Pentagon spokesperson told the newspaper that the War Department would "ensure that U.S. forces and those of our allies and partners have what they need to fight and win."

In response to a query about the report, a NATO official said members of the alliance and its partners continue to contribute to its Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program that funds the supply of U.S. arms for Kyiv.

"Equipment is continuously flowing into Ukraine," the official added. "The amount pledged to PURL so far is of several billion U.S. dollars and we expect more contributions to follow."
