For reference: The IFU is a funding mechanism that uses financial contributions from international partners to procure priority military equipment for Ukraine. This will ensure the continued supply of military support – lethal and non-lethal – to Ukraine through 2024 and beyond.
The fund is administered by the UK Ministry of Defense (MOD) on behalf of an executive panel comprising the UK, Norway, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Lithuania. These partners, along with Iceland, Australia and New Zealand, have pledged over £900 million to the Fund to date.
