Rishi Sunak has vowed that Ukraine "will never be alone" as the UK announced £2.5bn of military aid to Ukraine over the coming year.
It is the UK's largest annual commitment since Russia's full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The PM made the announcement as he met President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv and signed the new agreement.
Mr Sunak said that the support was vital because if Vladimir Putin "wins in Ukraine, he will not stop there".
Officials said the package will provide Ukraine with long-range missiles, air defence and artillery shells. Some £200m will be spent on drones.
They said the military package - for the next financial year beginning in April - would result in the largest delivery of drones, most of which will be UK-made, to Ukraine by any country.
Significantly, the prime minister has decided not to make a financial commitment lasting several years.
