The United Kingdom will soon send a new batch of modern anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to Ukraine.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced this at a press conference in London, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

The prime minister said that to support Ukraine, the UK will send another £100 million of weapons, including Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles, “which fly at three times the speed of sound, another 800 anti-tank missiles and precision munitions capable of lingering in the sky until directed to their target”.
