US Edition£200m allocated for UK armed forces deployment to Ukraine, government says
Funding upgrades vehicles, communications, and drone defenses to prepare UK forces for potential leadership in the Multinational Force for Ukraine, supporting security and UK defence jobs.
- On Jan 9, Britain allocated 200 million pounds to prepare armed forces for possible deployment to Ukraine, announced John Healey during his Kyiv visit.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer and allied leaders agreed a declaration on Tuesday, with Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy endorsing a multinational deployment concept first proposed last year.
- The Ministry of Defence said Octopus drone production starts this month, aiming to produce thousands monthly with each costing less than ten percent of the drone it destroys.
- The government confirmed MPs will have a parliamentary vote before any deployment, and Healey said the funding ensures the UK can lead the Multinational Force for Ukraine if required, with spending drawn from the core defence budget.
- The move forms part of a wider 600 million UK air-defence investment this year within a 4.5 billion military support package and came hours after Russia fired a hypersonic missile.
