UK Confirms Supply of Vehicles, Drones, Anti-Tank Weapons to Ukraine

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Saturday to confirm Britain will supply fresh weaponry to support Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s military operation.

“The Prime Minister confirmed that the UK is providing more defensive military aid, including protected mobility vehicles, drones and anti-tank weapons,” a readout of the call published by Johnson’s office said, Reuters reported.

Western allies on Tuesday pledged more military supplies and sanctions to assist Ukraine as its troops battle against Russian forces intensifying their attacks in the East of the country.

“We will further tighten our sanctions against Russia and step up financial and security assistance for Ukraine,” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen wrote on Twitter.

Responding to the new Russian push, the United States and European Union agreed to increase “Moscow’s international isolation”, during a virtual meeting between US President Joe Biden and European leaders on Tuesday.
