Ukraine to receive half a billion for air defense

“This afternoon, I confirm that the UK is providing Ukraine with an additional half a billion pounds for urgent air defense. In this way, the UK is acting as a force for good in the world, building a new agreement on European security within NATO,” he said.

Gilley added that he is proud of the UK's leadership and commitment to its allies, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

“We will support you. We will defend you. We will fight alongside you in this new era of threats and brute force,” the minister said.

The UK will play a central role in NATO's Arctic security mission, which aims to strengthen security in the region.
