UK delivers £1 billion worth of weapons to Ukraine paid for with frozen Russian assets

Defense Secretary John Healey announced this during his visit to Kyiv, according to the British government's website.

UK support provided in the last 50 days includes: 

• 4.7 million rounds of small arms ammunition for Ukraine’s soldiers 
• 60,000 artillery shells, rockets, and missiles 
• More than 2,500 drones 
• More than 200 electronic warfare systems 
• 100 light weapons 
• 30 vehicles 
• Additional counter-drone and air defense equipment 

While in Kyiv on September 3, John Healey also co-led an online coalition of the willing meeting with defense ministers from over 30 countries. The session discussed further military contributions to multinational defense forces that would be deployed in Ukraine if a peace agreement is reached.

In 2025, the UK spent £4.5 billion on military support for Ukraine. It also provided Ukraine with a £2.26 billion loan from the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration Mechanism for Ukraine (ERA), repaid using income from frozen Russian assets.
