一 | Brussels, Oct 13 (UNI) Ukraine's Nato-led allies have announced deliveries of advanced air defence weapons to Kyiv, after a spate of Russian missile strikes, media reported.
The weaponry promised by the UK, Canada, France and the Netherlands includes missiles and radars. The US earlier made a similar pledge. One high-tech system from Germany is already in Ukraine.
The UK will donate air defence missiles, as well as hundreds of aerial drones to support Ukraine's information gathering and logistics capabilities. It will also provide 18 howitzer artillery guns in addition to the 64 already delivered, the BBC reported.
Speaking after the Brussels meeting on Wednesday, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said "we're going to do everything we can to make sure that they [Ukrainians] have what's required to be effective".
French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris would supply air defence systems to Ukraine. In an interview to France 2 television, he did not specify which systems would be sent. But he did say their main function would be to protect the population from drones.
The Netherlands said it would deliver $14.5million worth of air defence missiles.
Dutch Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren said the Russian attacks "can only be met with unrelenting support for Ukraine and its people".
Canada pledged to provide more than $34 million worth of military aid, including satellite communications and drone cameras.
The pledges come as Ukraine's allies from 50 countries meet at Nato headquarters here in Belgium.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has for months been asking Ukraine's allies to provide air defence systems to create an "air shield" for Ukraine.
In his video address late on Wednesday, the Ukrainian leader said: "The more audacious and cruel Russian terror becomes, the more obvious it is to the world that helping Ukraine to protect the sky is one of the most important humanitarian tasks for Europe of our time."
"I believe that we will cope with this task," he added.
Kyiv hailed the Nato summit as "historic", even as Russian shelling hit its southern city of Mykolaiv on Thursday morning, officials said.
The city's mayor Oleksandr Senkevich said the city was "massively shelled" at around 1 am local time.
"A five-storey residential building was hit, the upper two floors were completely destroyed, the rest - under rubble. Rescuers are working on the site," he said.
It has been a particularly intense week in Ukraine - on Monday and Tuesday, it saw some of its heaviest Russian bombardment in months when more than 100 missiles were launched, hitting energy infrastructure and other non-military targets including a children's playground, the BBC said.
At least 19 people were killed on the first day of the strikes, which included hitting central Kyiv.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the missile strikes were retaliation for an attack on a key bridge linking Russia and Crimea - Ukraine's southern peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014.
Russia said Saturday's blast was organised by Ukraine's intelligence agency - a claim rubbished by Kyiv.
Ukraine's military announced earlier on Wednesday that the first of several "state-of-the-art IRIS-T SLM has been delivered from Germany to Ukraine". It said the air defence system would help protect the country "against terror".
Russia has repeatedly warned Ukraine's allies against supplying advanced weaponry to Kyiv, stressing this would make them participants of the war that Putin began on February 24.
The West has accused Moscow of nuclear sabre-rattling, following a string of Russian military defeats on the battlefield, the BBC report added.。 青岛8月23日电 (胡耀杰 张孝鹏)为期4天的2026国际交通能源与动力大会23日在山东青岛落下帷幕。大会汇聚来自中国、英国、美国、新加坡、韩国等国家和地区的近300位专家学者、产业领袖及政府代表与会,围绕交通能源融合、绿色动力技术及低碳转型路径展开深度研讨。 大会主席,中国内燃机学会会士、清华大学教授帅石金在大会上表示,交通是国民经济的基础命脉,能源是经济社会发展的动力源泉。在“双碳”战略引领下,多元化能源结构和技术路线是实现目标的重要路径,未来将是多种动力形式并存互补、各展所长的格局。 青岛市科学技术协会党组书记、主席杨文表示,青岛作为国家首批碳达峰试点城市,正加快构建清洁低碳能源体系,本次大会汇聚全球顶尖智慧,与青岛的产业方向高度契合、深度共鸣,必将为青岛交通能源与动力领域的科技创新和产业升级注入新的强劲动能。青岛市科协作为党和政府联系科技工作者的桥梁和纽带,将持续助力青岛“科技会展之城”建设,不断深化与全国学会的联系合作,广泛搭建高水平学术交流平台,促进高端智力资源与青岛创新要素深度对接,携手推动科技创新与产业升级,为经济社会高质量发展贡献更大力量。 大会共同主席,潍柴动力股份有限公司副总经理、内燃机与动力系统全国重点实验室副主任郭圣刚表示,内燃机正向着高效清洁化、燃料多元化、系统智能化升级,与新能源技术多元融合已成为行业共识。潍柴已在传统动力高效升级、零碳燃料布局及新能源产业化方面取得系列突破,并将持续开放国家级创新平台资源,深化全球产学研合作。 国际自动机工程师学会(SAE International)中国区总经理刘乐说,全球交通能源转型需要更开放的知识共享和更严格的技术验证,标准应服务于创新而非限制创新。他们愿助力更多中国专家、中国经验和中国数据融入国际标准体系,推动产业共识形成。 本次大会以“可持续、高效、智能”为主题,由中国内燃机学会主办、内燃机与动力系统全国重点实验室承办,得到了国际自动机工程师学会、北美华人动力系统工程师协会、全英华人汽车工程师协会、韩国内燃机联合会等国际学术组织的支持。
