UK commits £100m to bolster Ukraine’s air defences over winter
Package of military equipment includes Patriot missiles, supplies of which have dwindled amid Russian attacks
The UK has committed £100m to boost Ukraine’s air defences over winter by buying a package of US military equipment that will include a number of urgently needed Patriot missiles.
The air defence interceptors plus large-calibre artillery rounds and other drones will be supplied to Ukraine through a contribution to a Nato scheme to buy American weapons.
