West steps up military aid to Ukraine after Russian barrage

Al Jazeera  

More than 50 Western countries meet in Brussels and promise more weapons for Ukraine, especially air defence systems. At Wednesday’s meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said Russia’s latest attacks had laid bare its “malice and cruelty” since invading Ukraine on February 24. Since Monday’s attacks, Germany has sent the first of four planned IRIS-T SLM air defence systems, while Washington said it would speed up delivery of a promised NASAMS air defence system. French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that France would supply air defence systems to Ukraine following Russia’s missile assault, which he said was aimed at “breaking Ukrainian resistance”. “While Russian rockets fall on a children’s playground and on people in Ukraine, up to 200 Russian Federation citizens travel to the Czech Republic via international airports every day,” Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said.
