Hundreds of British-made air defence missiles are being shipped to Ukraine to "protect civilians and infrastructure from drones and bombing".
It follows the heaviest night of shelling on Ukraine since the war began which has resulted in the deaths of at least 30 civilians.
The package of around 200 air defence missiles will re-supply UK-developed air defence systems provided to Ukraine in late 2022, topping up Ukraine’s crucial air defence capability to protect their citizens, front line, and critical national infrastructure from Russian bombing and one-way attack drones.
Defence Secretary, Grant Shapps said: "Putin’s latest wave of murderous airstrikes are a desperate and futile attempt to regain momentum after the catastrophic loss of hundreds of thousands of conscripts and ahead of the humiliation of his three-day war entering a third calendar year.
"We continue to stand by Ukraine’s defence, which is why today we are sending hundreds of air defence missiles to restock British-gifted air defence systems capable of striking down Russian drones and missiles with incredible accuracy."
