On 8 September 2026, the UK Ministry of Defence announced a £100 million contribution to NATO's Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), intended to support Ukraine with Patriot missiles and other air defence equipment to be delivered before the winter. The release said the package also included air defence interceptors, large-calibre artillery rounds and drones.
The department said its commitment to provide over 120,000 drones to Ukraine that year continued, with 25,000 delivered to date. It also said the UK had recently delivered its millionth round of large-calibre artillery ammunition and that tens of thousands of long-range artillery rounds would follow in the coming months, funded by Britain, Germany, Denmark, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting, who chaired his first Ukraine Defence Contact Group, said Britain and allies were "converting commitment into capability" and would stand with Ukraine "until they win." The release said the group, co-chaired with German counterpart Boris Pistorius, brought together nearly 50 nations for its 36th meeting.
