Summary
£752 million in new UK military aid will send Ukraine 150,000 drones plus more than 350 air-defence missiles and radar systems by the end of 2026.
The package is funded through the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration loan, which is backed by proceeds from frozen Russian assets.
London said the weapons are meant to blunt Russia's drone and missile barrages, strengthen Ukrainian air defence and support domestic defence production ahead of next winter.
The announcement came as Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis co-chaired the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Brussels, where allies were also stepping up support.
Germany separately pledged another $400 million for air defence and Patriot missiles, while Belgium said it plans to supply F-16 fighter jets.
