“Together with our international partners, we will ensure Ukraine has the tools to defend their country from Putin’s illegal invasion,” Wallace said in a statement.
Among the weapons that are planned to be delivered are dozens of artillery guns, and more than 1,600 units of anti-tank weapons.
Wallace said Britain would also provide counter-battery radar systems, hundreds of drones and more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
The boost comes after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson last month pledged another 1 billion pounds ($1.2 billion) in military support, bringing Britain’s total support for Ukraine since the start of the war, which Russia calls a “special operation,” to £2.3 billion.
The UK has already supplied Ukraine with a range of military equipment including almost 7,000 anti-tank weapons, hundreds of missiles and armoured fighting vehicles, and has also been training Ukrainian soldiers.
