Sweden, Estonia, and Finland pledge to increase spending on weapons purchases from US – as it happened

Sweden, Estonia, and Finland pledged contributions on Wednesday to increase spending on purchases of US weapons for Ukraine, but countries including Spain, Italy, France, and Britain have faced criticism for holding back, Reuters reports.

US defence secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday urged allies to ramp up investment in the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program, which replaced US arms donations to Ukraine and now requires allies to pay for US weapons deliveries.
