Belgium approved three packages of additional military assistance to Ukraine worth €412 million.
These initiatives should provide for the transfer of minesweepers, the purchase of armored ambulances, and the supply of artillery ammunition.
Belgium will send two two-seat F-16 aircraft and 50 military personnel to Denmark to train Ukrainian pilots.
At the end of February, Belgian Defense Minister announced the state would join a coalition to purchase artillery shells that Czechia had found in an unnamed country.
Belgium would create a special fund for Ukraine in the amount of €1.7 billion that will be filled with taxes from Russian assets frozen in Belgium.
The Belgian authorities will provide Ukraine with more than €600 million in military aid
