New Delhi: The next package of British military aid to Ukraine will include electronic warfare equipment, in particular GPS jamming equipment, a counter-battery radar system, as well as night vision devices. This is according to a statement the office of the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson issued on Monday.

Speaking via video link to the parliament on Tuesday, the head of the British government will go into detail about what is included in the new $375 million packages, 10 Downing Street said.

“The UK will also send in the coming weeks heavy lift systems to provide logistical support to isolated forces, and more than a dozen new specialized Toyota Landcruisers to help protect civilian officials in Eastern Ukraine and evacuate civilians from frontline areas, following a request from the Ukrainian government,” the statement says.

The Russian leader stressed that Moscow had no plans of occupying Ukrainian territories. After that, the US, the EU, the UK, and a number of other states announced that they would impose sanctions against Russian legal entities and individuals. They also increased supplies of weapons to the Ukrainian authorities.
