"Alongside our Nato Allies, these deployments constitute a credible deterrent to stop Russian aggression threatening the territorial sovereignty of member states."
Meanwhile, the UK has pledged to continue to supply arms to Ukraine's military.
"We know what the Ukrainians want. We are doing our best to get it to them," UK armed forces minister James Heappey told Sky News.
It comes after defence secretary Ben Wallace chaired a donors conference on Friday with 25 nations, he said, some of whom pledged to send arms and other aid.
