Ukraine secures pledge of long range drones as Zelenskyy visits U.K.
on Monday with a promise of long range attack drones on top of cruise missiles pledged last week, as the Ukrainian leader tours Europe winning new arms for a counteroffensive against Russia.
Earlier Zelenskyy, who arrived from visits to Rome, Berlin and Paris, wrote on Twitter: “Today – London. The U.K. is a leader when it comes to expanding our capabilities on the ground and in the air. This cooperation will continue today.”Sunak’s office said Sunak would confirm the provision of hundreds of air defense missiles and further unmanned aerial systems, including hundreds of new long-range attack drones with a range of over 200 kilometers.
After keeping its troops on the defensive for six months, Ukraine is planning to launch major assaults to reclaim territory using newly acquired weapons from the West. It has already achieved its biggest gains since last November in fighting around the city of Bakhmut since last week.
