This was reported by Sky News with reference to an address to the House of Commons by British Defense Minister Ben Wallace.

"The UK has so far donated 900 generators to Ukraine and sent approximately 15,000 sets of extreme cold weather kit to the Ukrainian armed forces including cold weather clothing, heavy duty sleeping bags, and insulated tents," the minister said.

"We anticipate 10,000 further cold weather kits will be delivered by Christmas. Across the international community about 1.23 million winter kit items have been deployed to Ukraine," he added.

  • British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace does not rule out the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
  • By the end of the year, the training of almost 10,000 Ukrainian military will be completed in the UK, and from January 1, 2023, another 19,200 soldiers and officers will start training.
  • On December 9, it was reported that Norway would provide Ukraine with USD 100 million to restore war-damaged infrastructure. At the same time, it was reported that Estonia sent 11 more buses with generators and power equipment for Ukraine. The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy also reported that France had handed over 100 medium capacity generators to Ukraine for the heating season.
  • On December 10, the press service of the EU Council reported that the institution had reached an agreement on a package of legislation that would allow it to provide financial assistance to Ukraine through 2023 in the amount of EUR 18 billion.
  • The UK next year plans to transfer several hundred thousand artillery ammunition to the Ukrainian military for a total of about GBP 250 million.
