On Wednesday, Britain pledged another £1 billion ($1.2 billion) in military aid to Ukraine, which helps it fend off Russia’s invasion, including air defences systems and drones.

The fund brings Britain’s total military support to Kyiv since the start of the war in late February to £2.3 billion, Downing Street said in the statement.

The package includes “sophisticated air-defence systems, uncrewed aerial vehicles, innovative new electronic warfare equipment and thousands of pieces of vital kit for Ukrainian soldiers,” it said.

This will allow Ukraine to go beyond its valiant defence efforts and move towards mounting offensive operations which regain territory.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Vladimir Putin’s attacks against Ukraine were ‘increasingly barbaric’ as the Russian leader fails to make the gains he had anticipated and hoped for. The futility of this war becomes clear to all.
