New Zealand said on Monday that it will deploy a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and 58 personnel to Europe to further support Ukraine against Russia.

The team will travel throughout Europe transporting equipment and supplies to distribution centers, but will not enter Ukraine, Defence Minister Peeni Henare said in a statement.

The government also said it would donate an extra NZ$13.1 million ($9 million) toward military, legal and human rights support.
