According to Sunak, he is proud of how the UK has been standing with Ukraine from the very beginning of the war.
“I am here today to say the UK and our allies will continue to stand with Ukraine, as it fights to end this barbarous war and deliver a just peace,” he said.
The UK prime minister reminded that only this year Britain provided Ukraine with military aid worth more than 2.3 billion pounds, noting the United Kingdom will provide military aid next year as well.
“While Ukraine’s armed forces succeed in pushing back Russian forces on the ground, civilians are being brutally bombarded from the air. We are today providing new air defence, including anti-aircraft guns, radar and anti-drone equipment,” he said.
According to Sunak, the UK is also bolstering its training programs for the Ukrainian military, in particular, medics and military engineers. In addition, the United Kingdom will provide special winter equipment.
As reported, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived in Kyiv on Saturday, November 19 and met with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
