NATO's Top European Commander: Russian Sabotage in Europe Should Bring Ukraine More Weapons

NATO's top commander in Europe has said that Russia's sabotage in Europe should lead to more weapons for Ukraine. These would be delivered through PURL, a US weapons purchase scheme. He also said the alliance should state clearly where its red lines lie, meaning the limits whose breach would prompt a response.

PURL lets allies fund US-made weapons for Ukraine. By May, the programme had drawn nearly $5.5 billion in pledges.

The source text available does not give further detail. It does not say which sabotage incidents the commander cited, which countries might contribute funding, or what specific red lines he described.
