“These contracts will not be delivered immediately, but will reach Ukraine next year and the following two years.”

“He urged Kyiv's allies, to 'have a look at your stocks', adding that Kyiv needs more PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles 'to protect our critical infrastructure.'”

“UK Defence Secretary John Healey announced Britain's largest drone package to date, with more than 120,000 units set to be delivered this year, alongside artillery rounds and air defence missiles.”

“According to official UK government data, this new drone package is backed by the UK's wider £3 billion (€2.6 billion) military support for Ukraine this year, as well as ERA funding.”

“Drones have defined this war,' Healey said, claiming that they've caused the vast majority of Russian casualties and will be decisive in the war's outcome.”

“Fedorov added that drones are responsible for the bulk of Ukraine's counterattacks and are critical on both the battlefield and in strikes behind enemy lines, referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's announcement on Monday that the Ukrainian arm has recently captured a Russian position with only UAVs and ground robotic systems.”

“For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms - ground systems and drones, Zelenskyy said, adding that the operation was carried out without infantry and losses on the Ukrainian side.”

“The support for Ukraine is now not a one-way-street anymore, as NATO-chief Mark Rutte explained at the meeting, saying that Ukraine's expertise in using and countering drones is now feeding back into NATO, with allies learning directly from Ukraine's battlefield experience.”

“We are also now learning from you. We are learning from Ukraine,”

“Rutte highlighted the growing role of the NATO-led Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative in sustaining Ukraine's air defence, stressing that it is key to keeping US-supplied capabilities flowing.”

“Vital military equipment from NATO allies continues to flow into Ukraine,”

“Rubio didn't rule out any future divertions, in case the US needed to replenish its own stocks. 'If we need something for America and it’s American, we’re going to keep it for America first,' he said.”

“At the Berlin meeting, Rutte welcomed fresh contributions announced, without clarifying further what was pledged.”

“Both Rutte, Fedorov and Pistorius acknowledged ongoing gaps in burden-sharing, with the NATO chief noting that 'it is a limited amount of countries doing the heavy lifting,' while expressing optimism that funding targets could still be met.”
