Let me say that Allies announced hundreds of millions for PURL, funding, as you know, more essential US equipment that Ukraine urgently needs to defend. And I want to thank the United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Lithuania for their contributions. And many others have announced that they are actively considering over the next couple of days and weeks, additional contributions. When I was in Ukraine last week, I saw again firsthand, the chaos and destruction that Russia continues to inflict on the people of Ukraine. And to defend itself against such attacks, Ukraine indeed urgently needs more air defense. My message to participants today was clear, Ukraine needs our support now more than ever, and we must also support the vision of Minister Fedorov when it comes to 2026 and to make Ukraine as strong as possible in the fight. And I'm urging all nations to step up their support and to share that burden. There are also many hard at work to ensure that the bloodshed stops and that it is a lasting end, a lasting peace to this war. Our continued support to Ukraine ensures they can defend today, but also will be able to deter and defend any future aggression, and we are committed to keeping this support as strong as possible now and in the future.
