Britain will provide another $155M to Ukraine’s naval coalition and has trained 200 Ukrainian pilots.

The UK plans to allocate another £120M ($155M) to support the Coalition of Naval Forces and Means for Ukraine. London is also looking for partners to co-finance the supply of “hundreds” more maritime drones and surveillance radar systems to protect the Ukrainian grain corridor.

In addition, Britain and Norway are jointly seeking about $130M to finance the coalition. As part of the maritime coalition, Ukraine has already received dozens of amphibious all-terrain vehicles and raiding boats, hundreds of anti-ship missiles, and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Britain has also trained 200 Ukrainian military pilots in the basic control of fighter jets. These pilots will now undergo advanced flight training conducted by the French Air Force on Alphajet, after which they can fly Ukrainian F-16s.

Moreover, Lithuania will invest €10M in producing the Ukrainian Palyanytsia drone missile.
