(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) LONDON, Sept 9 (KUNA) -- More than GBP two billion of military support for Ukraine has now been secured through the UK-led international fund for priority military equipment to support the most urgent requirements of Ukraine's Armed Forces, a Ministry of Defence statement said today.
It comes as the Defence Secretary hosted NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, along with Ukraine's Minister of Defence, Denys Shmyhal, and Germany's Minister of Defence, Boris Pistorius, for the 30th meeting of the 50-nation strong Ukraine Defence Contact Group dedicated to providing military support to Ukraine.
Defence Secretary, John Healey MP, said: Putin is escalating his attacks on Ukraine, so we must go further and go faster to surge vital military kit into the hands of Ukraine's war fighters.
"After my fifth visit to Ukraine last week, it was a pleasure to host Minister Shmyhal, Minister Pistorius, and NATO's Secretary General at the Ministry of Defence in London for the 50-nation strong Ukraine Defence Contact Group. We see Putin's aggression increasing, but this only strengthens our unity and our determination to step up military support for Ukraine."
"This آ£2 billion funding milestone from the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine is symbolic of unity, with 11 countries working together with the UK to ensure Ukraine receives the urgent support it needs to fight today, while the countries of the Coalition of the Willing continue work towards securing a just and lasting peace in the future."
The Defence Secretary announced that the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine (IFU) has delivered equipment including more than 1,000 air defence systems, more than 600 uncrewed aerial systems, electronic warfare systems, and air defence radars, with further deliveries due in the coming weeks.
IFU is administered and led by the UK Ministry of Defence to procure equipment using funds provided by Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Portugal, and Sweden. (end)
