Farage would take a ‘keen look’ at UK’s support for ‘corrupt’ Ukraine
The leader of Britain’s right-wing Reform UK declined to repeat Donald Trump's verbal assault on Kyiv — but argued Ukraine is “one of the most corrupt countries on earth.”
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has expressed concern about Britain's support for Ukraine, stating that his party would "take a keen look" at the country's governance. According to Farage, Ukraine is "one of the most corrupt countries on earth" and he is "very worried" about the distribution of British funds. Despite acknowledging the threat posed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Farage maintains that the UK should continue supporting Ukraine.
The Ukrainian embassy in London did not comment on the matter. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, the UK has allocated £25 billion to Ukraine, including £16 billion in military support and £3.5 billion in export finance limits. Farage's comments come amid growing tensions between Washington and Kyiv, following U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to suspend sanctions on Russian diesel exports.
