Ukraine; UK prepares $376M military aid package to the armed forces

The new package will include night-vision devices, counter-GPS electronic warfare equipment and a counter-battery radar system.

The UK is set to send a new £300m ($376m) package of military aid to Ukraine amid ongoing efforts to rearm the embattled country to combat the Russian invasion.

The move will be officially announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson during an address to Ukraine’s Parliament through a live video link.

According to a government statement, the new package will include night-vision devices, electronic warfare equipment, a counter-battery radar system and GPS jamming equipment.

Additionally, the UK plans to deliver heavy lift systems in the following weeks to provide logistical support to isolated forces.

More than 12 new specialised Toyota Landcruisers will also be provided to support evacuation efforts and to protect civilian officials in Eastern Ukraine.

The British Government is also expected to send sophisticated land Brimstone missiles and Stormer air defence vehicles to Ukraine. Last week, an update was provided to the parliament regarding sending such systems.
