UK to Arm Ukraine with Anti-Ship Missiles | Farsnews Agency

(FNA)- Britain will supply Kiev with anti-ship missiles to potentially use against the Russian Navy in the Black Sea, Ukraine’s Envoy to Britain, Vadim Pristayko, stated.

“For the first time, our armed forces, the Navy in particular, will receive real weapons, missiles that will finally enable us to have something against the Russians in the Black and Azov Seas,” the diplomat said in an interview with Novoye Radio on Tuesday.

The official did not specify what munitions London is sending, nor the date they are set to arrive in Ukraine.

The upcoming delivery of anti-ship missiles apparently falls under the £1.7 billion ($2.3 billion) deal, reached by London and Kiev last year. Under the agreement, the UK provides Ukraine with a loan, which Kiev has to pay back within 10 years, with the funds set to be spent on navy-related military hardware supplied by Britain.
