Sunak: UK will aid Kyiv until victory

KYIV, Ukraine (AFP) — British Prime Minister Rishi

Sunak on Saturday used his first visit to Kyiv to announce a major new air defense package, as the country celebrated retaking the southern city of Kherson.

“I am here today to say that the UK will continue to stand with you... until Ukraine has won the peace and security it needs and deserves,” Sunak told journalists at a news conference with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The British leader said the new package was worth £50 million ($60 million).
