UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the new tranche of defence aid during a visit to Kyiv on Friday, public broadcaster Polish Radio's polskieradio24.pl website reported.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, Sunak said the new package was Britain's "biggest single package" for Kyiv since the war began.
It includes "air defence equipment, anti-tank weapons and long-range missiles," as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition and artillery shells, training for thousands of Ukrainian troops and GBP 200 million (EUR 232.7 million) for the construction of thousands of drones, according to officials.
The UK prime minister added that he and Zelensky had also signed a "new security agreement," the first in a "series of new, bilateral security assurances promised to Ukraine by 30 countries" at the NATO summit last year.
Sunak stressed that Britain stands "shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine," and that "Ukraine will prevail" in its war effort against the Russian invasion.
Friday is day 688 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, launching the largest military campaign in Europe since World War II.
