Ukraine will receive missiles for Patriot air defence systems and HIMARS rocket launchers in the first batch of weapons being sent under a new funding programme agreed by the U.S. and Ukraine's European allies, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday.



Reuters first reported the Trump administration's approval of weapons aid packages for Kyiv on Tuesday.



Ukraine has so far secured over $2 billion in financing for U.S.-produced weapons via a NATO-led mechanism called the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), according to Zelenskiy. He said he expected the total committed funds to reach $3.5 billion in October.



NATO allies hope to provide $10 billion in arms for Ukraine.
