Britain will provide 150,000 drones to Ukraine by the end of 2026 as part of a £752 million ($996 million) funding package, defence minister Dan Jarvis said on Thursday at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels.
- The package, funded by Britain's £2.26 billion loan to Ukraine, includes 350 air defence missiles and ground-based radar systems.
- The loan is backed by proceeds from immobilised Russian sovereign assets.
- Jarvis, who co-chaired the meeting with his German counterpart, met with U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and other defence ministers including France and Ukraine.
