Brimstone rockets and boats: The Minister of Defense of Britain in Odessa announced a military assistance package

John Hili visited Odessa less than 48 hours after his appointment promised to strengthen Ukraine's support. The new UK Defense Minister, John Hili, arrived in Odessa, met with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. Immediately after the meeting, Hil announced that his country would provide Ukraine with a new package of assistance, which will include more artillery guns, a quarter of a million ammunition and almost 100 high -precision Brimstone missiles.

This was reported in the UK Ministry of Defense. The Minister of Defense also promised to accelerate the provision of military support to Ukraine over the next 100 days. During the visit, which coincided with the Ukrainian Celebrations of the Navy, the Minister of Defense confirmed that the new government in Westminster would strengthen Ukraine's adamant support. "The government may have changed, but the United Kingdom is the only in support of Ukraine.

And Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the Chief of Defense Staff, recalled that the Russian Federation recently crossed a border of 500,000 killed or wounded, and this is a reminder that "how bad this war turned to Russia. " "Over the past year, Ukraine has displaced the Russian fleet from the Crimea and opened the Black Sea again for export. The struggle on land is much tougher, but the future of Ukraine as a sovereign state is not in doubt.
