Ukraine's allies have promised to provide new military aid worth €21 billion.


Ukraine's allies promise to provide €21 billion in new military aid. This was announced on April 11 by British Defense Minister John Healey at a meeting of the contact group on arms supplies to Kiev.
"51 countries participate in the contact group, including partners from Europe, the Indo-Pacific region and South America. The new commitments for military assistance announced today in the framework of the contact group amount to a total of more than €21 billion," Healy said, his speech was broadcast on the Sky News channel website.
The minister said that this is a record level of support. The head of the kingdom's Defense Ministry noted that the UK has made the largest contribution to military assistance this year — 4.5 billion pounds (about $ 5.9 billion).
On the same day, Healy announced that London would transfer an additional £350 million ($448 million) to Kiev to strengthen the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). He specified that additional radars, anti-tank complexes and "hundreds of thousands" of drones will be provided to Kiev with these funds. The financing will also go to the maintenance and repair of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On April 2, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov drew attention to the fact that European countries do not want the conflict in Ukraine to end and demand "the continuation of the banquet."
