The UK government will also provide Ukraine with its largest munitions package since the war against Russia started in February 2022.
Rishi Sunak is to announce a £500m military aid package to Ukraine in its war against Russia alongside the UK's largest provision of munitions so far. Some 400 vehicles, 60 boats, 1,600 strike and air defence missiles, and four million rounds of ammunition are included in the package. The announcement comes during a downswing for Ukraine as Russian forces have been gaining the upper hand in recent weeks.
'Ukraine's armed forces continue to fight bravely, but they need our support - and they need it now.' Defence Secretary Grant Shapps reiterated the UK was 'the first' to provide NLAW anti-tank missiles, modern tanks and long-range missiles to Ukraine.
