British assistance to Ukraine
Since the full-scale invasion by Russia began, the UK has been providing significant military assistance to Ukraine. Among the support provided are Challenger 2 tanks, long-range Storm Shadow missiles, M270 multiple rocket launch systems, and other weaponry from the British.
Additionally, Britain has been allocating military aid worth 2.3 billion pounds sterling annually to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began, and this amount is expected to be matched in 2024.
Moreover, according to reports from The Times, the UK has supplied Ukraine with Martlet missiles designed to counter kamikaze drones known as Shahed.
