Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says Britain will provide Ukraine with hundreds of air defense missiles and unmanned aerial systems, including new long-range attack drones with a range of more than 200 kilometers.

LONDON, United Kingdom – Britain promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy long-range attack drones when he visited the country on Monday, May 15, as part of European tour aimed at securing new weapons for a counteroffensive against Russia.

“We want to create this jets coalition and I’m very positive with it…I see that in the closest time you will hear some, I think, very important decisions, but we have to work a little bit more on it,” Zelenskiy, who arrived from visits to Rome, Berlin and Paris, told reporters after the meeting. “The conflict is at a pivotal moment,” Sunak said. “The UK will remain steadfast in supporting Ukraine and its people to defend itself…it is important for the Kremlin to also know that we are not going away. We are here for the long term.”After keeping its troops on the defensive for six months, Ukraine is planning to start major assaults to reclaim territory using newly acquired weapons from the West.

Britain has frequently been the first country to offer Ukraine new capabilities, often followed by similar offers from other allies. It was the first to offer battle tanks in January. Oleksandr Musiyenko, a Kyiv-based military analyst, said the latest Western assistance was “fairly significant”.
