Yesterday, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly visited Ukraine, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelensky, and announced new aid to the Ukrainians.
During his visit, six days after the visit of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Cleverly announced that Ukraine would deliver 24 additional ambulances and three million pounds to help rebuild destroyed facilities.
Cleverly met Ukrainian President and Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv.
"The UK stands with Ukraine," a British government statement quoted Cleverley as saying.
"Today I announced a range of concrete measures to help our Ukrainian friends in their fight, from ambulances to decisive support for survivors of violence perpetrated by the Russian military," he added.
During his visit to Ukraine on Saturday, Rishi Sunak announced military aid amounting to 50 million pounds, and humanitarian aid worth 16 million pounds.
Military assistance includes "125 anti-aircraft guns and technology to counter deadly drones, including dozens of radars and electronic anti-drone equipment."
London, which has been one of the biggest supporters of Kyiv since the start of the war, announced on Wednesday that it would send helicopters to support the Ukrainians.
