Johnson pledges more artillery systems for Ukraine

Ukrinform reports this with reference to BBC.

Speaking in the House of Commons after a video call with Western allies, Johnson said that it is "vital that we don't allow Putin to gain momentum" in Donbas.

"That's why we are stepping up our supply of military hardware of the kind that the Ukrainians particularly need now," he said, adding that the war has become "an artillery conflict".

"That is what we are giving them, in addition to many other forms of support," Johnson said.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.
