NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Tuesday that he expected new contributions from allies to the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) programme, a Ukraine arms funding mechanism, in the coming days.

He also said he welcomed US-led efforts to end the war in Ukraine and that he was confident that these would eventually "restore peace in Europe".
