The £54m (€64m) package, which will include 2,000 drones, will allow Ukraine’s military to better track and target invading Russian forces, Johnson’s office said in a statement.

“Britain will continue to support our Ukrainian friends. I believe that Ukraine can and will win this war,” Johnson wrote on Twitter.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that the world should increase arms supplies to Ukraine and that Russia’s losses were “enormous” while Putin’s advantage would shrink.

“What is happening in Ukraine is important for all of us. That is why I am in Kyiv today. Therefore, Great Britain will continue to support our Ukrainian friends. I believe that Ukraine can and will win this war,” wrote Boris Johnson on Twitter during his new visit to Ukraine.

Despite the threat of missile strikes, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived in Kyiv on Ukraine’s Independence Day, his third visit since the start of the six-month full-scale war.
