Britain unveils new R5.2-billion military aid package for Ukraine

# Britain has unveiled a package of 5.2-billion-rand in new military aid to Ukraine, including drones, boats and air defence systems. The move came after the UK’s Defence Secretary John Healey visited Kyiv yesterday, holding talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov and vowing to step up British support to Ukraine in 2025. Heaky said three years since Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine the depths of his miscalculation are clearer than ever, as the brave people of Ukraine continue to defy all expectations with their unbreakable spirit.
