UK Announces £752 Million Drone and Air Defense Package for Ukraine Funded by Russian Assets

The UK government has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth £752 million, which will include 150,000 Ukrainian-made drones and 350 air defense missiles. The funding for this package comes from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.

London says the aid will strengthen Ukraine’s defenses against Russian missile and drone attacks. The package aims to provide the Ukrainian military with crucial resources for air defense and strike capabilities.

This is one of the largest military aid packages provided by the UK since the war began, demonstrating the United Kingdom's continued commitment to supporting Ukraine in its fight against aggression. By utilizing the income from Russian assets, the UK can ease the burden on its own budget while delivering substantial assistance to Kyiv.
