The prime minister will visit Poland today to discuss European security and the threat from Russia with the Polish leader Donald Tusk and the Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, before travelling to Germany to meet Olaf Scholz.
The UK plans to give vital equipment to Kyiv including 400 vehicles, 1,600 weapons and 4m rounds of ammunition, as well as an additional £500m in military funding, taking the total to £3bn this financial year.
"Defending Ukraine against Russia's brutal ambitions is vital for our security and for all of Europe," Sunak said. "I am in Warsaw today to deepen ties with our Polish partners and commit critical new military support for Ukraine's defence.
Ukraine's armed forces continue to fight bravely, but they need our support - and they need it now. Today's package will help ensure Ukraine has what they need to take the fight to Russia. The United Kingdom will always play its part at the forefront of European security, defending our national interest and standing by our Nato allies." The UK has pledged almost £12bn in support to Ukraine since February 2022, of which £7.1bn is for military assistance and the rest humanitarian and economic support.
