About this event
As Ukraine continues to defend its sovereignty amid Russia’s ongoing aggression, NATO remains a critical partner in supporting Kyiv’s resilience.
This high-level conversation, hosted in partnership with the Mission of Ukraine to NATO, will focus on the role of PURL, an initiative through which NATO coordinates the purchase of critical defense equipment for Ukraine from the United States by other alliance members. PURL ensures robust, uninterrupted support to Ukraine and reinforces transatlantic unity.
The discussion will also address recent diplomatic efforts, including US and European legislative initiatives aimed at increasing pressure on Russia, evolving security and humanitarian needs, and the strategic imperative of sustained transatlantic solidarity with Ukraine.
Participants will have an opportunity to engage with the panelists during a dedicated Q&A segment following the discussion. A networking lunch will follow the event.
