Another 9 million pounds for these purposes may come to Ukraine from international allies.
The UK will allocate £16m ($20.5m) to Ukraine to boost cyber defences. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said this, Sky News reports on Sunday, June 18.
The decision comes as Ukraine launches another counter-offensive against Russia, in addition to the £6.35m ($8.1m) pledged last year. Another £9m ($11.5m) ) could come from international allies.
It was noted that the aid package will help Ukraine protect critical national infrastructure from Russian attacks.
“Russia’s despicable attacks on Ukraine are not limited to barbaric invasions of the country’s territory, but also include nefarious attempts to attack the cyber infrastructure that provides essential services, from banking to energy, to innocent Ukrainians,” Sunak said.
Earlier, Britain showed what new drones Ukraine will receive in the near future. They will be shipped next month.
Britain will also give Ukraine $20 million in humanitarian aid.
