UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps recently declared an increase in funding to £325 million, allowing for the purchase of over 10,000 drones for the Ukrainian forces, including surveillance, maritime, and one-way attack drones.
This assistance is crucial as Ukraine continues to face challenges on the battlefield and seeks to strengthen its defense infrastructure.
