The UK drones announcement follows Zelensky’s suggestion that US peace negotiators “have no time for Ukraine” due to the battle with Iran, AFP studies.
The package will embrace long-range strike drones, reconnaissance drones, logistics drones and people with maritime capabilities, with many produced by UK-based firms.
Delivery of the “cutting-edge battlefield technology” began this month, the MoD stated.
“Ukrainians continue to fight with huge courage and nothing will distract us from continuing to stand with them for as long as it takes to secure peace,” Healey stated in a press release.
He is ready to co-chair a gathering of the 50-nation Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Berlin later alongside Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte and the Ukrainian and German defence ministers.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves can also be anticipated to announce additional help measures for Ukraine later at a gathering of worldwide finance ministers in Washington DC.
This will encompass a £752m fee to Kyiv, which is a part of a wider £3.36bn mortgage.
“This funding will help deliver the military equipment Ukraine needs as it defends itself against Russia’s unprovoked war,” Reeves stated.
