Today, the United Kingdom announced additional financial support of 10 billion pounds (about 11.6 billion euros) to Ukraine: 7 billion pounds in economic support over the next three years and another 3 billion pounds in export support, mainly for the supply of essential weapons, President Volodymyr Zelensky said after a conversation with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham. "This is in addition to the annual support that the UK already provides to Ukraine. It's really a strong and very timely move. Russia must see and feel that Ukraine will not be left alone to deal with the problems that Russia is so eager to escalate. Every step taken to strengthen Ukraine brings Russia closer to understanding that it must bring an end to this war. Of course I also discussed the sanctions policy with Andy. Britain will continue to take a principled position on the issue. It serves as an example of global significance."
