Britain has delivered a second payment of 752 million pounds ($990 million) to Ukraine as part of a broader $50 billion international loan package aimed at supporting Ukraine’s defense efforts.
The funds will be used by Ukraine to purchase air defenses, artillery, and other military equipment.
Finance Minister Rachel Reeves emphasized the global impact of Russia's aggression, stating, "The world is changing before our eyes, reshaped by global instability, including Russian aggression in Ukraine."
This payment marks the second of three installments under a loan agreement first outlined in October 2024 by the Group of Seven (G7) advanced economies, before U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election led to changes in the United States' approach to the conflict. The final installment will be paid next year.
The funds are part of the UK government's commitment to provide 4.5 billion pounds in support to Ukraine this year, which will go toward military aid including air defenses, artillery, and spare parts for vehicles. The UK Ministry of Defence is also assisting with the procurement of radar systems, anti-tank mines, and drones.
The announcement comes amid continued attacks on Ukrainian cities. On Sunday, Russian ballistic missiles struck the northern Ukrainian city of Sumy, killing 34 people and wounding 117. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, expressing his shock and outrage.
Support for Ukraine remains strong in the UK, with broad backing from both the public and major political parties for continued military assistance.
