Media: Europe will not replenish arms supplies to Kyiv if the US blocks PURL

Europe will not be able to replenish arms supplies to Ukraine if the United States stops selling weapons under the NATO PURL program.

The US could block arms and intelligence supplies to Ukraine to force Kyiv to stop attacking Russian refineries.

The US could stop sharing some of the real-time intelligence that Ukraine relies on to launch attacks on oil refineries.

MOSCOW, October 12 - RIA Novosti. Europe will not be able to replenish arms supplies to Ukraine if the United States stops selling weapons under the NATO PURL program, this promises significant consequences for Kyiv, Bloomberg reports, citing a statement by Jennifer Kavanagh, director of military analysis at the Defense Priorities research center.

Earlier, the Financial Times newspaper, citing European officials, reported that the United States could block the supply of weapons and intelligence information to Ukraine in order to force Kyiv to stop attacking Russian refineries.

“If the United States stops selling weapons under the NATO PURL program, the consequences (for Kyiv - ed.) could be more significant, since Europe will not be able to replenish these supplies,” Bloomberg said in a report.

In addition, according to the publication, the United States may stop sharing some of the real-time intelligence information that Ukraine relies on when striking oil refineries.

The PURL (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List) program was launched by NATO in the summer of 2025. Under this scheme, European countries and Canada pay for the supply of American weapons to Ukraine.
