Prime minister of Britain visits Ukraine to provide relief

The UK’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced new money for Ukraine’s military when he visited Kyiv. His goal is to show that the West is still helping Ukraine for almost two years after Russia attacked.

The UK will get Ukraine a big package of 2. 5 billion pounds (US$3. 2 billion) next year. The British government has given Ukraine more money since the war started, which is 200 million pounds (US$233 million) more than before.

I am here today with one message: The U. K”Will” means that something is going to happen in the future or that it is a possibility. “Do not hesitate,” Sunak said. “We will support Ukraine during difficult times and in the future. ”

The package will cover the costs of buying long-range missiles, thousands of drones, air defense, artillery ammunition, and maritime security, according to Sunak’s office. This happens when the U. Sgives money for other things. Europe is caught up in political arguments and disagreements.

“We’re not leaving,” Sunak said at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Ukrainian leaders are happy that the U. K”The announcement shows that Western support for its fight against a bigger neighbor is not getting weaker, as some people thought. ”

Zelenskyy said, “This is a message to the world: Ukraine has support. ”

Sunak and Zelenskyy agreed to work together on keeping their countries safe for the next 10 years. “It will stay in place until Ukraine joins NATO, Zelenskyy said. ” Officials said they will tell us more about the agreement at a later time.

Kyiv has been asking Western countries to send more help like the U. KThe war is still going on and not much is changing at the front. Both sides are now using long-distance attacks.

Sunak said he went to Ukraine for his first trip of the year to show strong support and to stand with Ukraine, as the situation there is serious and they need international attention.

Russian leader Putin has to understand that we are staying here.

“We want Ukraine to succeed,” said Sunak, who mentioned that helping Kyiv is a way to keep the world safe. “If Putin wins in Ukraine, he will keep going. ”

Sunak visited shortly after the British and U. SleadersThe army attacked Yemen, hitting over 12 places used by the Houthis, who are supported by Iran.

Thursday’s attacks reminded us of the long-lasting war in the poorest country in the Arab world. The attack also had the potential to start a bigger fight in the region because of Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza.

The worries have made people focus on something else instead of Ukraine’s problems, but Zelenskyy is working to solve this through talking with other countries.

Sunak went to Ukraine in November 2022, not long after he became prime minister. Britain strongly supports Ukraine. It is the second largest giver of military help to Ukraine after the U. SIt has given a total of 4. 6 billion pounds (US$5. 8 billion) in 2022 and 2023.

Ukraine and Russia are trying to get more weapons this year, say military experts. They think there might be big fights on the ground in 2025, so the countries want to be ready.

Sunak said that the United Kingdom (U. K) Aid is the largest amount of help one country has given for drones, which are important weapons in the battlefield.

The front line in Ukraine and Russia is about 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) long. It has not really changed during the winter. Both countries need weapons like artillery shells, missiles, and drones to attack from far away.

Ukraine says that Moscow is getting artillery shells and missiles from North Korea and drones from Iran.
