As Boris Johnson visits Kyiv, Downing Street confirms the UK will give a further £54m in military aid to Ukraine.

No 10 says some 200 drones will be sent to Ukraine to improve long range surveillance and defensive targeting ability .

The package also includes 850 micro-drones, which are launched by hand and are specifically designed for use in towns and villages to detect approaching enemy forces.

Downing Street says military personnel can be trained to fly the helicopter drones, which are smaller than a mobile phone and can feed back live images, in under 20 minutes.
