UK announces £7.5 million military aid package for Ukraine on war's 1,000th day

The UK has announced £7.5 million in military aid for Ukraine, specifically for new attack and surveillance drones. This funding coincides with the 1,000th day of Russia's invasion, highlighting ongoing international support for Ukraine. The total fund for drone support now reaches £67 million, with contributions from other allies, including Germany, Canada, and Luxembourg. The UK has trained over 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers since the invasion began in 2022. Parliament will soon debate a £2.26 billion loan to Ukraine for military equipment. The UK government continues to explore options for easing restrictions on the use of Storm Shadow missiles by Ukrainian forces.
