The United Kingdom is ready to send a new £ 300m ($ 376m) military aid package to Ukraine amid ongoing efforts to rearm the war-torn country to fight the Russian invasion.

IN move will be officially announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in an address to the Ukrainian parliament via live video link.

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

In addition, the United Kingdom plans to deliver heavy-duty systems in the coming weeks to provide logistical support to isolated forces.

More than 12 new specialized Toyota Landcruisers will also be provided to support evacuation and protection efforts for civilians in eastern Ukraine.

In his address, Johnson is expected to say: “When my country faced the threat of invasion during World War II, our Parliament – like yours – continued to meet during the conflict, and the British people showed such unity and determination. that we remember our time of greatest danger as our best hour.

“This is the best hour for Ukraine, an epic chapter of your national history that will be remembered and told for generations to come.

The United Kingdom is supplying arms to Ukraine after Russia launched a “military operation” in February.

This includes sending missiles and other ammunition to the Ukrainian military.

The British government is also expected to send sophisticated Brimstone surface-to-air missiles and Stormer air defense vehicles to Ukraine. An update was submitted to parliament last week on the deployment of such systems.
