UK announces further £450m military support for Ukraine as 50 countries meet in Brussels

Britain has announced a further 450 million pounds of military support to Kyiv, as the UK and Germany prepare to host a meeting of 50 nations in Brussels.

The aid for new drones and repairing armoured vehicles is part of a wider package which includes additional funding from Norway.

UK Defence Secretary, John Healey, said the support comes as defence officials gather to “pile pressure” on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Reports say, Healey and his German counterpart Boris Pistorius are co-chairing today’s meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group.
