British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a $620 million arms transfer to Ukraine. It will include 400 vehicles, 60 boats, about 4 million rounds of small arms ammunition, more than 1,600 strike missiles, and air defense shells. In addition, Ukraine will receive Storm Shadow air-to-surface missiles with a range of about 250 kilometers.
The minister emphasized that Kyiv’s support is critical for the security of the whole of Europe. He fears that if Russia wins, the Kremlin will not stop there and will continue its aggression against other countries.
“The United Kingdom will always play its role at the forefront of European security, protecting our national interests and supporting our NATO allies,” Sunak said.
According to Bloomberg, the UK is going to provide Ukraine with $3.7 billion in military aid this year. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, London has promised to provide Kyiv with about $14.8 billion, of which 7 is military support and the remaining funds are allocated for humanitarian and economic aid.
