Ukraine will receive 350 modern British missiles to strengthen its air defense. The deliveries will take place within the framework of the ERA program, which is financed by the proceeds from frozen russian assets.
Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced this on his Facebook page.
The missiles will be used by specially developed anti-aircraft missile systems. In addition, Ukraine will receive five more new air defense systems in the near future.
The ERA program managed to attract more than GBP 2 billion, which are directed to supporting Ukraine's defense capabilities.
"It is an important mechanism of justice — when the aggressor country pays for the consequences of its own war. I thank the Government of the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Defence Secretary John Healey, and all partners who continue to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and help protect the lives of our citizens," Umerov wrote.
Recall that earlier in russia, a Japanese loan to Ukraine secured by frozen russian assets was called "theft".
