Israa Farhan The British government has pledged to supply Ukraine with 100,000 military drones by the end of the current fiscal year in April 2026, marking a tenfold increase in drone support.

The announcement is set to be formally delivered by Defence Secretary John Healey at a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Brussels, co-hosted by Germany. Ahead of the Brussels summit, Healey stated that the UK is intensifying its support for Ukraine by delivering hundreds of thousands of drones in 2025 and completing key deliveries of vital artillery ammunition.
