Advanced air defence weapons are making their way to Kyiv after a spate of Russian missile strikes

The UK, Canada, France and the Netherlands will provide missiles and radars to the war-torn nation.

It follows a similar pledge by the United States, and other high-tech systems from Germany.

Ukraine’s allies from 50 countries met at NATO headquarters in Brussels, in a summit deemed historic by Ukrainian officials.

It comes as the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that condemns Russia’s “illegal so-called referendums” in regions within Ukraine’s internationally-recognized borders, and demands it reverses its annexation declaration.

There were 143 votes in favour, while 35 countries abstained including India and China.

Belarus, nicaragua, north korea and syria joined russia in voting no.

At the same time, Russian forces hit the southern part of Ukraine, with the city’s mayor describing a massive shelling event.

Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin is having further discussions on how best to continue supporting Ukraine.

The meeting was attended by delegates from more than 50 countries as the war nears its eighth month.

Ukraine is pleading with the West to provide even more Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, ammunition, artillery and air defences.

Russia’s recent attacks have seen civilian infrastructure destroyed, while civilians have been struck and killed.

Moscow’s increasing attacks on Ukraine has seen a barrage of air strikes hitting more than a dozen cities and killing at least 19 people.

On top of this, more than 100 have been injured, with the United Nations describing the destruction as “particularly shocking”.

Moscow maintains the war effort is a special military operation aimed at de-nazifying Ukraine.
