UK pledges vital munitions to Ukraine in largest ever military aid package

“This would bring the UK’s total contribution since the start of the full scale invasion to somewhere north of about 9.5 billion.”

The prime minister Rishi Sunak is to announce a £500 million in additional military funding from the UK to deliver crucial ammunition, air defence, drones, and engineering support.

Russia's military budget was $108 billion in 2023.
Giving as little as possible and seeing if Ukraine survives is not a smart strategy
.... Ukraine is paying with human lives while we count pennies ....
Time to start learning from the WWII Make a decision and commit to it !!

Ukraine needs support to the point where they can win. A win means forcing Russia to go home. Half heartedness won't work.

We can and must give them more and better equipment.

4:04 the UK's support, particularly Storm Shadow missiles has made a difference. Ukraine has no Navy to speak of, yet has done real damage to the Russian Navy in the Black Sea - in part because of Britain's support. Thanks Great Britain.

Way to go, UK! The rest of Europe should follow!

Come on Great Britain, you can do better.

Sunak heroically waited for the yanks to pass their aid bill first. 😂 They needed this months ago..

You have to remember that these $$$ figures aren't a net cost to the donors, it's not a cash donation. If the arms are produced domestically, much of it goes back to the government in Company and Income taxes as well as stimulating local companies.

Give them more Challenger 2s 🤔🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
We aint gonna use em in a land battle anytime soon

Every little helps. If the EU also gets it's act together and America chips in then Ukraine will hold back the terror.

[DMD]

These countries need to wake up and realise that if we arm Ukraine properly, no other nations will need to send troops to guarantee the safety of Europe! Why don't they understand this when it's plain as day!!

[johnhopkins]

Yup... gotta admit kudos for the U.K. StormShadows gettin' 'er dun.

Thank you Borris Johnson and thank you UK. Long live the queen!!!

He is absolutely correct in the fact that the one most important form of ammunition right now is heavy artillery and the like. Not even newer advanced PGM based artillery, just the good old standard fare. Ukraine has and will get more material from the US. Battles are still won with bullets and hand grenades. If you aren't feeding the king of battle, you will not win the war. This is very much a land war for territorial expansion. Ukraine has shown it will fight, and I think if there is more support, more people will desire to put their lives on the line to end the bloodshed. As sad as that may be.

“Game Changer weapons”

[RobWhittlestone]

Excellent work by Jerome Starkey and his team at The Sun.
