UK allocates additional £100 million for air defense for Ukraine

The British government announced the urgent allocation of an additional 100 million pounds (115 million euros) to strengthen Ukrainian air defense.

This was reported on the website of the British government, informs the portal PromPolitInform.

The UK will urgently commit an additional £100 million to support Ukraine’s air defence, helping to defend the country from relentless Russian attacks.

The funding will quickly focus on strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses, providing better protection for advanced forces and key national infrastructure from air attacks.

This latest package means the UK has committed £600 million over the past two months to support Ukraine’s air defence, reaffirming the government’s determination to save lives and strengthen Ukraine’s resilience.

The UK’s new aid package comes after today’s meeting of Joint Expeditionary Force leaders in Helsinki to discuss how partners can go further and faster in supporting Ukraine.

This followed President Zelenskyy’s visit to London last week, where Prime Minister Kier Starmer heard firsthand about the courage and determination that the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to show in repelling attacks by Russian forces.

“To ensure this never happens again and to protect the people at home from the real threat posed by Russia, I am determined to do everything I can to support a sovereign and free Ukraine for generations to come,” Starmer said.
