The United Kingdom plans to maintain or increase military aid to Ukraine next year, the Reuters news agency quoted British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as saying on Nov. 27.
According to the prime minister, British government support for Ukraine will remain unchanged and there will be no amendment to the policy pursued by his predecessors, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
“We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” Sunak said in an extract released by his office of his first major foreign policy speech, which he plans to deliver on Nov. 28 in London’s financial district.
“We will maintain or increase our military aid next year. And we will provide new support for air defense.”
