NATO has started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine, most bought from the U.S.

The €500 million package is the first funding of US military equipment for Ukraine under a new NATO mechanism. It includes US Patriot missile parts.

The Netherlands said on Monday it will contribute 500 million euros ($578 million) to purchase U.S. military equipment for Ukraine, becoming the first NATO country to contribute to a new mechanism to supply Kyiv with American weapons.
