<p>Britain said Thursday that it would <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/united-kingdom-articles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>provide 10,000 drones to arm Ukraine</strong></a> in its fight against Russia.</p>
<p>The announcement by Defense Secretary Grant Shapps during a visit in Kyiv with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy includes an investment of 125 million pounds ($160 million) on top of 200 million pounds ($256 million) previously committed for drones. The weaponry will include 1,000 one-way attack&mdash;or kamikaze&mdash;drones and models that target ships.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Ukraine is using UK donated weapons to unprecedented effect, to help lay waste to nearly 30 per cent of Russia&rsquo;s Black Sea Fleet,&rdquo; Shapps said. On Tuesday, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/ukraine-articles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Ukrainian sea drones</strong></a> reportedly sank another Russian warship in the Black Sea, the latest in a series of strikes that have crippled Moscow.</p>

Zelenskyy announced that he has approved the appointment of Valerii Zaluzhnyi to one of Ukraine&rsquo;s most important diplomatic positions. Britain is a key supporter of Ukraine in its war with Russia.</p>
