The United Kingdom pledged to provide Poland's eastern neighbor with 1.25 billion pounds (EUR 1.4 billion, USD 1.6 billion) in the form of a 10-year loan under a memorandum signed by officials when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Britain last week, defence24.pl reported.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Andriy Taran was quoted as saying that plans included the supply of modern military equipment and “the latest high-precision weapons,” in addition to the launch of production of “certain types of military products in Ukraine, as well as the construction of base facilities for the Ukrainian Navy.”
“The implementation of these projects will significantly strengthen the capabilities and combat potential of the Ukrainian Navy, as well as interoperability with the maritime component of NATO countries,” Taran said, as quoted by Ukraine’s UNIAN news agency.
