UK to share SCALP missile blueprints with Ukraine as Coalition of the Willing meets in Kyiv
Britain will share technical information on the SCALP cruise missile with Ukraine. This brings Kyiv closer to producing the long-range strike weapon at home. According to Euronews, Ukraine is still seeking US approval to manufacture Patriot interceptors.
The Coalition of the Willing met in Kyiv and via video conference to mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence restoration. The leaders expressed a unified position on continuing support for Ukraine's defense. They condemned Russia's strikes against Ukraine's cities, infrastructure, and civilians, as well as attacks on cultural heritage sites, including the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
The Coalition agreed to increase military support for Ukraine, primarily by strengthening its air defense and expanding cooperation with its defense industry. They also intend to tighten sanctions against Russia's military-industrial complex. Additionally, the Coalition will provide immediate assistance for Ukraine's energy sector ahead of winter, including through the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
Ukrinform reports that Ukraine will receive new military and energy support packages, air defense systems, and funding for drone production.
