The UK government reports this.
The British side will also announce the signing of further contracts for air defense acquired through the International Fund for Ukraine.
Today I am proud to announce that the UK, together with our allies, is delivering on that promise by awarding new contracts to supply Ukraine with critical air defense systems to protect civilians from Putin’s barbaric bombing campaign, as well as more than £100 million worth of new equipment. Ukrainian soldiers have what they need to break through Russia’s deadly minefields, Shapps said.
The announced package will include equipment that:
-
will help clear minefields;
-
service vehicles;
-
strengthen defense structures to protect critical infrastructure.
Let us remind you that the support package will be provided at the expense of the International Fund for Ukraine (IFU) and will be jointly announced by the head of the British Ministry of Defense and his colleagues from IFU partner countries at a meeting of the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine (Ramstein) at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
