Specifically, these include 120 new armored vehicles and missile targets. A Downing Street statement said it would help Ukraine “at this critical juncture while Russia’s unlawful attacks continue”.
“Ukraine, against all odds, pushed Russian forces away from the gates of Kyiv and achieved the greatest military achievement of the 21st century,” Johnson said.
I have made it clear today that Great Britain stands idly by and stands by its side in this ongoing battle, and we are part of the longer term, adds the Prime Minister.
