Around 20 countries will send new packages of security assistance to Ukraine as its war with Russia reaches the three-month mark, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has announced.
Mr Austin said nearly 50 defence leaders from around the world had agreed to send more advanced weapons to Ukraine.
In particular, he said that Denmark had agreed to send a Harpoon launcher and missiles to Ukraine to help the country defend its coast.
Mr Austin declined to say if the US would send Ukraine high-tech mobile rocket launchers, which it has requested.
He added that the Czech Republic recently donated attack helicopters, tanks and rockets, and that Italy, Greece, Norway and Poland announced new donations yesterday of artillery systems and ammunition.
Mr Austin said: “We’ve gained a sharper, shared sense of Ukraine’s priority requirements and the situation on the battlefield.
“Many countries are donating critically needed artillery ammunition, coastal defence systems and tanks and other armoured vehicles. Others came forward with new commitments for training.
“The nature of the fight, as you’ve heard us describe a number of times is really shaped by artillery in this phase.
“And we’ve seen serious exchanges of artillery fires over the last several weeks.”
