UK negotiates missile sales with Ukraine
The UK is in talks with Ukraine to sell weapons for patrol boats and aircraft for the first time amid fears that Russia could use the gas crisis to seize territory.
Under the preliminary agreement, the UK will provide surface-to-surface missiles for Ukrainian patrol boats and missiles for aircraft as cooperation between the countries expands after Brexit. The Ministry of Defense is discussing the sale of surface-to-surface sea missiles developed by MBDA UK, which can hit a swarm of targets simultaneously and will be deployed on ships in the Ukrainian Navy's arsenal.
