UK to provide Ukraine with another $1.6 billion in military aid, defense companies to increase production

The new aid package is almost twice the size of the previous ones. The UK government said that this is the highest amount of defense spending since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's brutal attack “is not only causing untold devastation in Ukraine – it is also threatening peace and security across Europe,” UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a statement announcing the new aid package.
