Warning
“Defending Ukraine from Russia’s brutal ambitions is vital to our security and to all of Europe. If Putin is allowed to succeed in this war of aggression, he will not stop at the Polish border,” Sunak said, before flying to Warsaw early yesterday morning.
The UK’s £500m of additional funding, which officials said would come from Treasury reserves, will be used to deliver air defense munitions, drones (built in the UK) and technical support to the Ukrainian first line in Donbass.
The package includes 60 offshore capability vessels as well as submarines, more than 1,600 air defense missiles, more than 400 vehicles, including 160 Husky protected mobility vehicles and 162 armored vehicles, as well as small arms ammunition.
Brave nation
Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said: “This record military aid package will give President Zelensky and his brave nation more of the materials they need to oust Putin and restore peace and stability to Europe. We will never let the world forget the existential battle Ukraine is fighting, and with our continued support they will win it.”
