A |     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.

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, BBC reported.

The pledges come as Ukraine's allies from 50 countries meet at the Nato headquarters in Brussels. Kyiv hailed the summit as "historic", BBC said.

Hours later, Russian shelling hit the southern city of Mykolaiv on Thursday morning.

Monday and Tuesday saw some of the heaviest Russian bombardment in months when more than 100 missiles were launched, hitting energy infrastructure and other non-military targets. At least 19 people were killed on the first day of the strikes, which included hitting central Kyiv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says 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.

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.

"Russia's latest indiscriminate strikes on civilian areas in Ukraine warrant further support to those seeking to defend their nation," said British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Paris would supply air defence systems to Ukraine, the BBC reported.

The Netherlands said it would deliver €15m ($14.5m) 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 C$47m ($34m) worth of military aid, including satellite communications and drone cameras.

Ukraine's military announced 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 in February.

UNI MR。    New Delhi, Oct 12 (UNI) India’s energy strategy is mindful of commitments to global commons and green transition and to ensure energy availability, affordability and security to all, Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Wednesday.

Addressing a roundtable on “Opportunities in the India-US Strategic Partnership” at Houston, he said 25 per cent of global energy demand growth in the next two decades is going to emanate out of India.

He said India had taken many steps towards low carbon development, including through emerging fuels like hydrogen and bio-fuels.

He emphasised that despite the current challenging energy environment, India’s commitment to energy transitions and its climate mitigation goals, is not going to diminish.

The Minister said India was undertaking major reforms to rationalize and incentivise exploration and production by reducing the no-go areas by 99 per cent opening up approximately 1 million sq km, making good quality geological data available through the National Depository Registry.

In a series of tweets, Puri said the immense potential between the two countries in areas of biofuels, gas based economy, green hydrogen, petrochemicals and upstream sectors is evident and is being furthered by collaboration by the private sector companies.

“Due to reform measures by the Modi government, there is unprecedented interest in Indian E&P by global oil companies,” he said.

As a gesture of commitment of the Indian government to exploration and production sector, the special Coal-bed Methane (CBM) round and offshore bid rounds in the oil and gas capital of the world (Houston) offering over 2.3 sq lakh km, after opening up over 1 million sq km of No Go areas recently, was launched by the Minister, an official statement said.

Puri chaired the roundtable organized by US-India Strategic Partnership Forum. The roundtable brought together over 60 participants from 35 companies including senior leadership of energy majors. Indian Energy PSUs also attended the event.

The discussion was concluded with broad-based support from the participants to push forth with potential partnerships which will bring the best-in-class technologies in both traditional energies and new energies to India.
