BBC reported that more countries have answered President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call to send further arms to Ukraine.

Several European nations promised new military aid packages following a meeting on Thursday at Tapa Army Base in Estonia.

The UK said a further 600 Brimstone missiles will be donated to Ukraine as it attempts to repel the Russian army.

The announcement comes ahead of a crunch meeting on Friday involving 50 countries to co-ordinate arms supplies.

Representatives from 11 nations met near Tallinn on Thursday to discuss a range of new packages to help Ukraine recapture territory and fend off any further Russian advances.

Nine countries – the UK, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Czech Republic, Estonia, the Netherlands and Slovakia – promised more support.

The packages announced in a joint statement include:

  • UK – 600 Brimstone missiles
  • Denmark – 19 French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzers
  • Estonia – howitzers, ammunition, support vehicles and anti-tank grenade launchers
  • Latvia – Stinger air-defence systems, two helicopters, and drones
  • Lithuania – anti-aircraft guns and two helicopters
  • Poland – S-60 anti-aircraft guns with 70,000 pieces of ammunition
  • Czech Republic – produce further large calibre ammunition, howitzers and APCs

The Netherlands will announce its package of support on Friday.
