£200 mln from UK aid to be spent on Ukraine's drone production – defense minister

£200 million pounds of the UK defense aid package to Ukraine will be spent on reconnaissance, long-range and maritime drones, says defense minister Rustem Umerov.

Previously, PM Rishi Sunak has announced a new £2.5 billion defense aid package for Ukraine, being the largest since the start of the full-scale war.

The UK will also provide an additional £18 million of humanitarian aid, in addition to the £340 million already allocated.

The aid is to overcome the consequences of Russian air strikes and strengthen the protection of energy infrastructure.

For the first time, the defense ministry has formulated the need at the level of Ukrainian forces planning to purchase up to 1 million drones in 2024.

Beach season during war: How Ukrainians can safely relax at the Black Sea

The sea always lures people to visit during hot weather. Odesa is a port city in the Ukrainian south where locals were spending time on the coast. Every beach season, thousands of tourists from around the world also came here to sunbathe and enjoy the Black Sea coastline before the war. However, since Russia started its large-scale invasion of Ukraine, such recreation is no longer safe. It has even become a distant dream not only for the city's guests but also for the residents of Odesa. Rubryka investigated how safe it is to swim in the waves of the Black Sea during wartime.
