KYIV, Nov 9 – The UK will provide a batch of winter equipment to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to help them defend their country in grueling winter conditions, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said.

"We must also continue backing the Ukrainian people in their resistance to Putin's brutality. I'm pleased that UK-donated kit will be keeping the Ukrainian Armed Forces warm and safe as they face a perilous winter fighting for their country," Sunak said in a post on the British government website on Wednesday.
