According to a statement from Downing Street, Sunak also announced the provision of an additional £50 million (about NT$1.85 billion) air defense system.

Sunak said the latest aid package included "120 machine guns for fighter jets, radar and anti-drone equipment, among others".

Ukraine has asked for more air defense systems as Russia is attacking the country's energy infrastructure.

This is the first visit to Kyiv by the new British leader.

Britain has been a staunch ally of Kyiv since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

Sunak added, "It is deeply humbling to be in your country today and to be with you. The courage of the Ukrainian people has inspired the world."

Zelensky also hailed the visit as "significant and useful for both countries" at a press conference.

"Having friends like this by our side gives us confidence in victory," Zelensky tweeted. 1111120
