UK to Supply Thousands of Drones As Co-leader of Major International Capability Coalition for Ukraine

  • The UK and Latvia will jointly lead a capability coalition, which will see thousands of drones supplied to Ukraine, including first-person view (FPV) drones, which have proven highly effective on the battlefield.

Ukraine will receive thousands more drones as Defence Secretary Grant Shapps announces today that the UK will co-lead a major drone capability coalition with Latvia for Ukraine.

As part of the coalition, the UK will scale up and streamline the West’s provision of “first person view” (FPV) drones to Ukraine. 


Volodymyr Zelenskyy also informed the House members about the economic situation in Ukraine. 
  1. In particular, he noted that last year's GDP growth was 5%. 
  2. Among other things, this was driven by the strengthening of air defense with the help of the United States, as greater protection of cities encourages Ukrainians to return home from abroad, which stimulates the growth of our country's economy.
