UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has announced a new aid package for Ukraine worth over $780 million.

According to the British Foreign Office, Lammy stated:

"The UK’s support to Ukraine is unwavering. Our commitment of over £600 million worth of support is the latest installment in our enduring support to Ukraine. This will provide vital support to Ukrainians as they continue to endure relentless Russian attacks."

The aid package includes $310 million for humanitarian needs and $484 million in the form of World Bank guarantees to support essential government services, such as funding for schools and hospitals, public sector salaries, and pensions.

Additionally, British Defense Minister John Healy announced that hundreds of additional air defense missiles, tens of thousands of extra artillery rounds, and more armored vehicles will be delivered to Ukraine by the end of the year.

"Meeting with my Ukrainian counterpart in London last week and with 50 nations at the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Germany, I made clear that UK support will continue for as long as it takes. We stand united in the face of Putin’s illegal war. The defence of the UK and Europe starts in Ukraine."
