Ukraine will receive a new package of military aid from Britain
This was reported by the British government.
Britain has announced a £725 million (€836 million) aid package, funded by Ukraine's Emergency Revenue Acceleration (ERA) loan, secured by funds from frozen Russian assets.
The package includes the delivery of 150,000 drones by the end of the year, as well as the transfer of more than 350 missiles for air defense and radar, including light multi-purpose missiles and ground-based radar systems.
"This package of drones, air defense missiles, and radars will help protect innocent Ukrainian citizens from Putin's barrage of drones and missiles," said Defense Secretary Dan Jarvis, who is co-chairing the Ramstein format meeting in Brussels.
The announced package of measures will strengthen Ukraine's air defenses, improve protection against Russian indiscriminate missile and drone attacks, and support Ukraine's domestic defense production.
Britain remains steadfast in its commitment to Ukraine’s security, and the Prime Minister has in recent weeks commissioned work to increase support for Ukraine in all dimensions, from military equipment to energy support and pressure on Putin’s war machine, to ensure Ukraine’s momentum on the battlefield is maintained until next winter.
