More multiple-launch rocket systems with a range of up to 80 kilometres (50 miles) will be given to Ukraine by the United Kingdom.
This was revealed in a statement made public on Thursday by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.
According to him, having access to firearms would enable Ukraine to defend itself against Russian heavy artillery.
“This latest tranche of military support will enable the Armed Forces of Ukraine to continue to defend against Russian aggression and the indiscriminate use of long-range artillery.
“Our continued support sends a very clear message, Britain and the international community remain opposed to this illegal war and will stand shoulder-to-shoulder, providing defensive military aid to Ukraine to help them defend against Putin’s invasion.”
