The United Kingdom plans to provide Kyiv with 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026, a tenfold increase compared to previous supplies.
The 350-million-pound ($473 million) drone package is part of a broader 4.5-billion-pound military support initiative for Ukraine, the Labour government said.
According to Reuters, Defence Secretary John Healey will make the announcement at a 50-nation Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting to be held in Brussels today.
“The UK is stepping up its support for Ukraine by delivering hundreds of thousands more drones this year and completing a major milestone in the delivery of critical artillery ammunition,” Healey said in a statement ahead of the meeting.
