Czechia also "joined" PURL symbolically.
At the Ankara NATO summit, Prague agreed to contribute 140m CZK / roughly $6.5m to PURL โ the mechanism where allies buy US-made weapons for Ukraine.

CIA Ratcliffe is wrong.
Rob Lee:
Most Russian soldiers are killed by FPVs and FPVs rarely use pixel lock/AI for infantry because itโs unnecessary and expensive.

Burnhamโs Britain may restore foreign aid to 0.7% of national income.
UK aid spending was provisionally ยฃ13.0bn in 2025, or 0.43% of GNI.
Restoring it to 0.7% would mean roughly ยฃ21bn.
So the increase is about:
+ยฃ8bn a year.
For context, UK bilateral ODA to Ukraine was only ยฃ270m in 2024 โ about 2% of total UK aid spending.
The rest goes into the usual aid-world mix:
โข refugee and asylum costs
โข humanitarian aid
โข development projects
โข multilateral bodies
โข climate and nature finance
The funny comparison:
ยฃ8bn is roughly enough to buy around 90โ100 F-35B airframes at flyaway price.
