A British defense website has broadcast a video showing heavy movement of British military aircraft carrying military aid from the United Kingdom to Ukraine between last Monday and Wednesday.
This comes at a time when Western countries are accelerating their efforts to provide Ukraine with many weapons and equipment in anticipation of a possible invasion from Russia, which in the past few months has deployed tens of thousands of its soldiers near the border with Ukraine.

The video was produced with time-acceleration technology and shows the passage of all British military aid transport flights via a single itinerary to and from Ukraine.
For the third day in a row, British military transport aircraft are delivering thousands of anti-tank weapons to the Ukrainian authorities, in order to confront the Russian military build-up near the eastern Ukrainian border, a report by the UK Defense Journal said on Wednesday.
British aid is transported via C-17 military transport aircraft.
And British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said last Monday before his country’s parliament that London is providing Ukraine with a new security system to help it strengthen its defense capabilities in the face of threatening behavior from Russia.
“We have taken a decision to provide Ukraine with light defensive anti-armor weapons systems,” Ben Wallace said, stressing that “they are not strategic weapons and do not pose any threat to Russia. They are for use in self-defense.”
