LONDON, 10 April 2022, (TON): British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, on a visit to Kyiv, vowed UK armored vehicles and anti-ship missiles for Ukraine as he acclaimed its military for the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century.

He said after meeting Zelensky “it is because of President (Volodymyr) Zelensky’s resolute leadership and the invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people that (Vladimir) Putin’s monstrous aims are being thwarted.”

The statement said “Johnson set out extra military aid of 120 armored vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems, to support Ukraine in this crucial phase while Russia’s illegal assault continues.”

That is on top of UK aid announced Friday of additional Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles and another 800 anti-tank missiles, along with “loitering” drones for “precision strikes” against the Russians.

As world powers held a fundraising round for Ukraine, Johnson also promised an extra $500 million via the World Bank, taking its total loan guarantee to $1 billion, and would liberalize tariffs on most imports from Ukraine and take other measures to free up trade.
