The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has announced the transfer of air defence systems and demining equipment from the UK.
"The United Kingdom unwaveringly supports Ukraine and its most urgent needs. I am proud to announce that the UK, along with our allies, is delivering on this promise by signing new contracts to provide Ukraine with critical air defence systems to protect civilians from Putin's barbaric bombing campaign, as well as over £100 million worth of pledged new equipment to give Ukraine's soldiers what they need to break through Russia's deadly minefields," said the Rt Hon Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Defence, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Shapps also took part in his first meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council, which discussed the current international response to Putin's illegal invasion.
This latest package will also provide critical equipment to help Ukrainian soldiers traverse minefields, bridging equipment to help cross rivers and trenches, and heavy vehicles to destroy Russian non-explosive obstacles and help establish defensive positions to protect Ukraine's critical national infrastructure.
The aid will arrive in the coming months.
