<p>Russia has attacked civilian infrastructure in Ukraine with one-way, long-range
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), supplied by the Government of Iran. Such action is
illegal under international law. The use of Iranian drones is also further evidence
of Russia's increasing reliance on others to sustain the campaign and how far it has
depleted its own equipment stocks.</p><p>Bolstering Ukraine's air defences has been
and remains a priority for UK military support. To date, the UK has provided a variety
of air defence systems and missiles and will shortly complete the delivery of almost
1,000 additional short-range anti-aircraft missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The missiles will play a vital role in the provision of air defence for Ukraine and
the protection of its critical infrastructure.</p>
