This sum will be divided into two parts: GBP 7 billion ($9.3 billion) for economic aid over the next three years, and GBP 3 billion ($4 billion) to assist with arms exports. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed this news on Facebook, stating that the funds will primarily be used to supply weapons necessary for protecting Ukrainian lives.\n\nZelenskyy emphasized that this new package builds upon the annual support that the UK is currently providing to Ukraine. He called it a \"strong and very timely step,\" coming at a critical moment as Russia seeks to escalate tensions. During talks with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Zelenskyy also discussed the UK's stance on sanctions, reaffirming London's commitment to a principled approach on the matter.",
