The foreign secretary has announced the UK will send 24 ambulances to Ukraine, while on a visit to the country.
James Cleverly travelled to the capital Kiev on Thursday and is set to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
It comes just days after Rishi Sunak also made a visit to the city, his first since becoming prime minister.
Cleverly said the UK stands “shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine” and that Russia’s attack “will fail”.
As well as ambulances, a further 11 emergency vehicles, including six armoured vehicles, will be part of the emergency package.
It will include £3m in funding to help with the rebuilding of infrastructure, such as schools and shelters, that has been destroyed since the start of the war.
The funds will also be used to support survivors of sexual assault. The conflict has seen numerous reports, including by UN representatives, of sexual violence by Russian troops against Ukrainian civilians.
Cleverly said that, as winter sets in, Russia was aiming to “break Ukrainian resolve through its brutal attacks on civilians, hospitals and energy infrastructure”.
