New Zealand is sending nine Defence Force personnel to the United Kingdom and Belgium to provide Military support to Ukraine. 
This will include intelligence analysts to help gather information on the war in Ukraine.


One officer will be based in Belgium and the other eight in the United Kingdom for three months.


The intelligence gathered would be passed on to Ukraine's army to support its defence against Russian troops.
