Britain and Norway to provide strong military aid package to Ukraine.
The United Kingdom and Norway plan to finance the procurement of drones for Ukraine to assist the country in facing Russian aggression. According to Bloomberg, the UK and Norway will allocate 450 million pounds (580 million dollars) from existing funds of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. This will allow for the purchase of drones, radar systems, and anti-tank mines. The military support is provided in the context of US President Donald Trump's disappointment in his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over his refusal to achieve a ceasefire. Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of violating the truce. The drones purchased for Ukraine will be sourced from British and Ukrainian suppliers. The countries' actions in the 'Ramstein' format will provide additional support to Ukraine in its fight against Russia, - stated UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace.
