Britain to provide Ukraine with a new military aid package worth £60 million (over $75 million), including drones and air defense systems, announces the UK Ministry of Defense on X.
The ministry emphasized that the package will be provided by the International Fund for Ukraine, overseen by Britain.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the package will include modern reconnaissance drones to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Additionally, £20 million (over $25 million) will be allocated for the supply of air defense systems to ensure the security of Ukrainian airspace.
British assistance to Ukraine
Britain has been one of Ukraine's key allies since the onset of full-scale Russian aggression. Ukrainian defenders have received Challenger 2 tanks, AS-90 self-propelled guns, artillery shells, and much more.
British instructors also assist in training Ukrainian servicemen, who are then deployed to the front lines.
On January 12, the United Kingdom allocated the largest aid package to Ukraine since the start of the war. This was announced during Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's visit to Kyiv.
