United to win: Britain to propose $300 mln aid package for Ukraine

The UK will provide Kyiv with a new $286 million military aid package for Ukraine.

Reuters reports this.

As noted in the publication, Ukraine will receive from the UK:

• equipment to strengthen the Ukrainian Navy, including small boats, reconnaissance drones, unmanned boats, ammunition search drones, and mine-clearing drones;
• air defense equipment, namely radars and ground equipment;
• spare parts for systems previously supplied to Ukraine;
• more than 1,000 electronic warfare systems against drones.

In addition, Britain promises to strengthen the training of the Ukrainian military.

"The brave people of Ukraine continue to defy all expectations with their indomitable spirit. But they cannot go through this alone – which is why the UK will strengthen its international leadership towards Ukraine throughout 2025," the country's Defense Minister John Healey said.

The UK government recently announced an emergency support package of £35 million to help Ukraine restore its power grid and overcome winter humanitarian challenges.

For reference:

Support for Ukraine from Western allies remains one of the key factors in the fight against Russian aggression. The UK has already made a significant contribution to military, economic, and humanitarian assistance and is continuing to expand sanctions pressure on the Kremlin.

President Zelensky recently announced that the UK had made a new decision on sanctions against the shadow tanker fleet, resulting in the sanctioning of thirty tankers.

Also, on November 19, the United Kingdom, within the framework of the drone coalition, allocated 7.5 million pounds sterling (over 9.5 million dollars) for military assistance to Ukraine. These funds will be used to purchase UAVs for Ukraine's armed forces.

In addition, a British artillery company will open a new howitzer factory. This step is aimed at increasing support for Ukraine.

Moreover, in the United Kingdom, Ukrainian recruits, under the guidance of foreign instructors, are practicing tactical skills in the field.
