The United Kingdom, together with other allies, will provide Ukraine with additional air defense systems and demining equipment. This was reported on Facebook by the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, citing information from the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
"The UK has been steadfast in its support for Ukraine and its most urgent needs. I am proud to announce that the UK, along with our allies, is delivering on that promise by signing new contracts to provide Ukraine with critical air defense systems to protect civilians from Putin's barbaric bombing campaign, as well as more than £100 million of new equipment promised to give Ukraine's soldiers what they need to break through Russia's deadly minefields," the press service of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland's Secretary of Defense Grant Shapps quoted.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, emphasized that Russia underestimates the resilience of the international community that provides assistance to Ukraine. The new support package is considered the latest in an unprecedented effort by 50 countries to provide Ukraine with the necessary tools to counter Russia's aggression and restore what has been lost. This support includes critical equipment to assist Ukrainian soldiers in demining, bridge equipment to help cross rivers and trenches, and heavy vehicles to clear Russian minefields and establish defensive positions to protect Ukraine's critical national infrastructure.
Ukraine will receive assistance from this new package in the coming months.
