Britain, the Netherlands, and Canada will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine
The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Canada will continue to provide defense support to Ukraine to repel the Russian invasion.
This is stated in a joint statement of the three countries.
"We call on the international community to stand by Ukraine's right to self-defense and to respond to calls by Ukraine to strengthen its capabilities to defend itself. We will continue to do so and are bringing in further packages of defense support to Ukraine," the statement said.
The three states have also promised to tighten sanctions against Russia over its military invasion.
"We have also worked with partners to bring in an unprecedented package of purposeful and punitive sanctions to isolate Russia's economy and will continue to impose severe costs on Russia given this unconscionable attack," the document said.
