Key NATO ally shocks with its ‘single largest’ pledge to Ukraine: ‘They need our support’ [Video]

Ukraine continues to see an international windfall following the passage of a significant U.S. aid package as the U.K. follows suit with a pledge of its single-largest military aid package.

“Defending Ukraine against Russia’s brutal ambitions is vital for our security and for all of Europe,” British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said during a visit to Poland this week. “If Putin is allowed to succeed in this war of aggression, he will not stop at the Polish border.”

Sunak’s pledge of £500 million ($620 million) to Ukraine bolsters an already substantial £2.5 billion ($3.1 billion) allocated for this financial year, the BBC reported. The funds will mainly go toward producing drones made in the U.K. and scaling up “domestic defense supply chains.”

The British Ministry of Defense described the package as the “largest-ever single package of equipment from the U.K.” that puts the country on “a war footing.” Sunak has promised to spend an extra £75 billion ($93 billion) in defense spending over the next six years.
