The United Kingdom pledged to supply $1.6 billion in additional military aide to Ukraine to help the country defend against Russia’s attacks, officials announced Sunday, as Europe commemorates the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender during World War Two.The British government reserves funding includes more than $370 million of military equipment such as radar systems to target Russian artillery, GPS jamming equipment and night vision devices.Britain’s government said the package is the largest amount of U.K. military spending on a war since the end of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Officials said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold discussions with British arms companies later in May to discuss boosting production due to the increased demand prompted by Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine.
