"The UK is providing 120,000 drones to Ukraine in what the Ministry of Defence has said is the largest delivery of its kind. This package will include long-range strike drones, reconnaissance drones, logistics drones and those with maritime capabilities, with many produced by UK-based companies."
"Defence Secretary John Healey said the 'big boost' comes as 'with eyes on the Middle East in recent weeks, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin wants us to be distracted.'"
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had captured a Russian position using ground-based and aerial drones alone for the first time."
"'Ukrainians continue to fight with huge courage and nothing will distract us from continuing to stand with them for as long as it takes to secure peace,' Healey said in a statement."
