UK to provide another 1.3bn pounds of aid to Ukraine

Britain has pledged to provide another $1.60bn in military support and aid to Ukraine, Qazet.az reports according to Reuters.

The news comes one day before G7 leaders are scheduled to participate in a video call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, as Russia prepares to hold its 9 May Victory Day celebrations.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government has already sent anti-tank missiles, air defence systems and other weapons to Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion in February.

Johnson’s office said he also plans to meet with executives from leading defence companies later this month to discuss increasing production in response to the war in Ukraine.

Johnson address its parliament since the start of the invasion, said in a statement:

Putin’s brutal attack is not only causing untold devastation in Ukraine – it is also threatening peace and security across Europe.
