The uplift comes after Prime Minister Boris Johnson last month promised another 1 billion pounds ($1.2bn) of military support to Ukraine.
“Together with our international partners, we will ensure Ukraine has the tools to defend their country from Putin’s illegal invasion,” Wallace said in a statement.
Wallace said the UK would also provide counter-battery radar systems, hundreds of drones and more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
The UK has already supplied Ukraine with a range of military equipment, including almost 7,000 anti-tank weapons, hundreds of missiles and armoured fighting vehicles, and has also been training Ukrainian soldiers.
