EKO HOT BLOG reports that the British government will supply scores of artillery, guns, drones and anti-tank weapons to Ukraine in the coming weeks, the UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said in an update to Parliament.
The additional weapons come as British troops provide military training to Ukrainian forces on U.K. territory.
“The scale and range of equipment we are providing demonstrates the strength of our resolve. Together with our international partners, we will ensure Ukraine has the tools to defend their country from Putin’s illegal invasion,” Wallace said.
It comes amid questions over the scope of Russia’s aims when it comes to its invasion of Ukraine — or its “special military operation,” as it describes it — given recent comments by Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
