Britain pledges major air defense package for Ukraine

BRUSSELS: Britain on Thursday pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in air defenses for Ukraine to help stave off Russian attacks on the country’s power and heating systems. The British defense ministry said some $200 million would go to a NATO scheme backed by US President Donald Trump to buy American weaponry for Kyiv. London will also send Ukraine 1,000 British-made lightweight missiles worth more than $500 million to Kyiv. British defense minister John Healey said Ukraine’s allies “are more committed than ever to supporting Ukraine” as Russia’s war nears the start of its fifth year.
