The government has announced a further £450m of military support to Kyiv as the UK and Germany prepare to host a meeting of 50 nations in Brussels.
Defence officials are convening to “pile pressure” on Russian President Vladimir Putin and force him to end his invasion of Ukraine, UK Defence Secretary John Healey said.
“We must step up to deter Russian aggression by continuing to bolster Ukraine’s defences,” he added.
The package includes funding for hundreds of thousands of drones, anti-tank mines and and repairs to military vehicles.
About £350m will be provided by the UK, with extra funding from Norway via the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine.
The package includes £160m to provide repairs and maintenance to vehicles and equipment the UK has already provided to Ukraine.
A “close fight” military aid package, with funding for radar systems, anti-tank mines and hundreds of thousands of drones worth more than £250m, is also part of the package, the government said.
Healey said the work of the group “is vital to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position”.
“We cannot jeopardise peace by forgetting the war, which is why today’s major package will surge support to Ukraine’s frontline fight,” he said.
“2025 is the critical year for Ukraine.
“Our job as defence ministers is to put into the hands of the Ukrainian warfighters what they need.”
The fund follows a series of military pledges to Ukraine from the UK.
Last month, Sir Keir Starmer announced a £1.6bn missile deal for Ukraine, following a summit of European leaders in London, on top of a £2.2bn loan to provide more military aid backed by profits from frozen Russian assets.
