The money pledged by the 26 NATO countries will be used to supply existing weapons, missiles, and ammunition, increase arms production for Ukraine, train Ukrainian soldiers, and de-mining war-torn areas in Ukraine.
The defence ministers of Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic have signalled their willingness to expand the production of artillery systems, ammunition and other military equipment in Ukraine. The UK, which has already donated advanced weapon systems to Ukraine and given military training to thousands of its troops, on Thursday pledged an additional EUR 300 million (USD 309 million), including multiple-launch missile systems and precision-guided M31A1 missiles that can hit targets up to 80 km (50 miles) away.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov wrote in a tweet: “Rising gas and fuel prices in the West is a small price to pay to defeat Moscow.”
