British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced an additional $230 million (175 million pounds) in aid for Ukraine, APA reports citing CNN. 

This is the moment for "Ukraine's friends to create a coalition of humanitarian, economic, and defensive military support to ensure that Putin fails in this catastrophic invasion," he said Monday while speaking during a joint news conference with his Dutch and Canadian counterparts in London.

The United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands "stand shoulder to shoulder" against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Johnson added. 

"Our new international Ukraine support group will coordinate the efforts of the international community to provide long term and unwavering assistance now and in the future, and we will be encouraging more countries to join us," Johnson told the news conference.

In 12 days of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, Johnson said it's clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin made a "miscalculation" in underestimating Ukraine.

“He has underestimated the Ukrainians and their heroic resistance. He has underestimated their leader and he has underestimated the unity of the West," Johnson said.
