LONDON: "British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pledged to provide the Ukraine with £2.5 billion ($3.2 billion) in military funding this year during a visit to Kiev, with the supply of long-range attack drones being a top priority. A statement issued by the British government as Sunak arrived by train in the Ukrainian capital on Jan. 12 said the commitment would include funding for drones, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, air defense and maritime security. The pledge is set to take British spending on military assistance to Ukraine to over £7 billion since Russia invaded its neighbor in February 2022.

The latest announcement comes at a time of increasing concern in Ukraine over future funding plans by the U.S. and some European nations. Sunak, though, said there would be no backsliding on defense aid by the British.

“I am here with one message: the UK will not falter. We will stand with Ukraine, in their darkest hours and in the better times to come,” he said. “The UK is already one of Ukraine’s closest partners, because we recognize their security is our security.”

London is also expected to strengthen its ties with the Ukrainian government with the signing of a broad security cooperation agreement during Sunak’s visit, his second since becoming prime minister last year. The agreement formalizes support the British have been providing to boost Ukraine’s security, including intelligence sharing, cyber security, medical and military training, and defense industrial cooperation."
