UK says new $2bn deal to fund air defence missiles for Ukraine British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday publicised a new £1.6 billion ($2 billion) deal that will enable Ukraine to purchase 5,000 air-defence missiles using export finance.
Starmer made the announcement at a summit in London.
According to Britain’s Ministry of Defence, Thales will manufacture the lightweight multirole missiles for Ukraine.
Thales said that the missiles have a range of more than six kilometres (3.7 miles) and can be launched from various platforms on land, sea, and air.
“This will be vital for protecting provisional infrastructure now and strengthening Ukraine in securing the peace when it comes,” Starmer reported.
Last week, Russia launched more than 200 drones in an overnight attack, which Ukraine described as the bigger such assault since the war began three years ago.
