British foreign secretary announces nearly EUR 64 mln winter support package during Ukraine visit

During his first visit to Ukraine in this capacity, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced nearly EUR 64 million in additional winter aid for Ukraine and reaffirmed continued support for Kyiv.

British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced a GBP 54 million (EUR 63.73 million) winter resilience funding package for Ukraine during his first visit to the country in this capacity. The funding, combined with GBP 6 million for war crimes investigations, aims to bolster Ukraine's preparedness for the fifth winter of Russia's full-scale invasion.

Miliband visited the site of a recent strike in the Chernihiv region that killed at least 22 people and announced new sanctions against Russia, targeting approximately 40 entities in its financial, oil, and technology sectors. The UK supports Ukraine through a triangle of actions - strengthening resilience, targeting those financing Russia's war, and enhancing NATO security. The UK has provided over GBP 1 billion in humanitarian and energy support since the invasion began.
