The UK Ministry of Defence has announced that the United Kingdom will deliver 150,000 drones and 350 air defense missiles to Ukraine by the end of the year. RIA Novosti reports that the aid package for Kyiv will include, in particular, Martlet lightweight multirole missiles, LMM drones and ground-based radar systems. The total value of the assistance to be provided to Ukraine will amount to £752 million (nearly $1 billion). The package is part of the £2.26 billion loan announced by London in 2024. The United Kingdom is financing the assistance through profits generated from frozen Russian assets. The support package was announced by UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry Dan Jarvis during a meeting of NATO defence ministers and a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in the Ramstein format.
