Countries including the UK, France, Netherlands, and Canada have promised to supply advanced weaponry, such as radars and missiles to Ukraine. Germany has already sent a high-tech missile system to Ukraine, whereas the US announced similar aid earlier.

The UK has promised to support Ukraine with air defence missiles and hundreds of aerial drones to safeguard Ukraine’s logistic and information-gathering systems.

The US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin assured that they would do everything to ensure that Ukraine would have what is needed to be effective.
