THE HAGUE (Reuters) -The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with 100 drone-detection radars and 20 medical evacuation vehicles as part of a new 175 million euro ($202 million) aid package, Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans said on Tuesday.

Delivery of the radars, which will help identify incoming drones and relay data to air defence systems, is expected to be completed by year-end.
