UK Announces £1.6 Billion Deal for Ukraine to Purchase Air-Defence Missiles

London, UK — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on March 2 a new £1.6 billion (S$2.7 billion) deal that will allow Ukraine to purchase 5,000 air-defence missiles using export finance. The missiles, manufactured by Thales, have a range of over 6km and can be fired from various platforms on land, sea, and air.

“This will be vital for protecting critical infrastructure now and strengthening Ukraine in securing the peace when it comes,” Starmer told reporters at a summit in London.

The announcement comes in the wake of Russia’s recent overnight attack, where more than 200 drones were launched, marking the largest such attack since the start of the war three years ago.
