The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has announced an additional package of military aid to Ukraine worth 1.3 billion pounds.

He wrote about this on his Twitter.

As part of this assistance, Kyiv will receive long-range artillery, shore-to-ship missiles, and unmanned drones.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said that they had a broad discussion with President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which the parties discussed how to stop the global economic damage caused by "Putin's reckless blockade of Black Sea ports."

"We're looking urgently at options to open up critical sea and land supply routes for Ukrainian grain stocks," Johnson wrote.

He also noted that 50,000 Ukrainians arrived safely in the UK, "we're doing everything possible to help them build lives here."

"With over 100,000 visas issued through our schemes and fresh sanctions imposed on Russian airlines today, our resolve is unflinching – we stand with Ukraine," he said.
