'The UK-Danish joint-led International Fund is all about placing orders in a manufacturing space to make sure that we can go on between '23, '24, and keep going on,' Wallace said on Thursday.
He said the UK would provide Ukraine with air defence systems that would complement US-provided systems. Ukraine faced a barrage of missile strikes earlier this week, damaging civilian infrastructure and knocking out electricity supplies in some cities.
