LONDON (Kaab TV) – The UK government has confirmed its readiness to send troops to Ukraine as the war between Ukrainian and Russian forces continues.
Entering its third year, the war has become one of the most significant conflicts in Europe. Tensions have increased following verbal attacks by US President Donald Trump against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the end of last week.
UK Support for Ukraine
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer unveiled a £1.6 billion missile deal for Ukraine during a meeting of European leaders in London on Sunday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attended the meeting, which included 17 European leaders and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to discuss the next steps for securing peace in Ukraine.
The announcement of further support came just hours after President Zelensky’s departure from a packed meeting at the White House on Friday afternoon.
The UK government organized the conference in support of Ukraine at Lancaster House in London.
Additionally, the UK revealed a £2.26 billion loan to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities. This funding will come from assets already frozen in Russian accounts in Western banks.
In a further display of international cooperation, the UK announced that a number of allies have signed a “cooperation readiness” agreement to send troops to the front line in Ukraine, should a peace agreement be reached. French President Emmanuel Macron is among the leaders backing this initiative.
