The weapons include U.S. missiles for Patriot air defense systems already in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said he had a "productive" call with President Trump.
The Netherlands becomes first European country to contribute €500 million to NATO fund for purchasing U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine.
The funding will be channeled through NATO's Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), which enables fast-track purchases of U.S. arms to meet Ukraine's most urgent defense needs.
The Swedish government said today it will commit $275 million and that the wider Nordic pledge is in line with President Donald Trump’s decision last month to supply Kiev with “defence material, in the form of several support packages.”
NATO has started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine after the Netherlands said it would provide air defense equipment, ammunition and other military aid worth 500 million euros ($578 million).
