What further defensive support have Ukraine’s partners promised?

In January next year, the UK and its partners will supply Ukraine with thousands of combat drones as part of the Maritime and Drone Capability Coalitions. Britain will also continue training Ukrainian military personnel; 51,000 defenders have already been trained. Secretary of State for Defense John Healey stated that Britain may also train Ukrainian military personnel in Ukraine. In addition, the plans for next year include the development of Ukraine’s defense sector, as well as in Britain and throughout Europe.

Lithuania is ready to invest in the production of the Palanytsia drone missile, which is part of the Ukrainian long-range weapons program. This year Lithuania will provide €10M through the Danish model, which involves investing directly in Ukrainian weapons production.

Ukrainian representatives from the Ministry of Defense met with their counterparts from the Netherlands discussed priority areas of assistance for 2025, including additional spare parts for F-16 aircraft and air defense/missile defense systems, tanks, artillery, and demining equipment.

Germany also transferred an additional IRIS-T air defense system to Ukraine.
