UK pledges £500M military aid to Ukraine
In a significant move to bolster Ukraine's defense against Russia, the United Kingdom has pledged its largest military aid package worth £500 million ($620 million) and announced plans to deploy Typhoon fighter jets to Poland. This comes as part of an overall commitment by the UK government to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, during a visit to Poland alongside NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, stated that defending Ukraine against Russia's ambitions is vital for security in Europe and the UK. The aid package includes 400 vehicles, over 1,600 missiles, 4 million rounds of ammunition, and 60 boats to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities.
The UK government described this aid package as the 'largest-ever single package of equipment from the UK.' Sunak also promised an extra £75 billion ($93 billion) on defense spending over the next six years. The U.S., meanwhile, has approved a substantial new military aid package for Ukraine after months of political paralysis in Congress.
Ukraine's military officials have long complained about critical munitions shortages in the war against Russia, leading to rationing of shells and low morale. The U.S. aid package is expected to provide about $60 billion for Ukraine's war effort, with a significant portion allocated for air-defense and artillery ammunition.
The Pentagon has a robust logistics network in place to move material quickly, enabling the United States and its allies to respond effectively to the evolving situation on the ground. The UK's deployment of Typhoon fighter jets to Poland is also aimed at bolstering NATO's eastern flank and deterring potential Russian aggression.
The UK has pledged its single largest military aid package to Ukraine, totalling £500 million ($620 million).
