The UK will provide £2.5bn of military aid to Ukraine over the coming year, Rishi Sunak has said - Britain’s largest annual commitment since Russia’s invasion.

The PM made the announcement during a rare visit to the country, where he will also sign a new agreement supporting its long-term security.

Officials said the package will provide Ukraine with long-range missiles, air defence and artillery shells.

Some £200m will be spent on drones, most of which will be UK-made.

    I think he’s referring to the Tories’ ability to make money disappear into private pockets. In this case removing it from Brits pockets and not making it to the oppressed and needy either. Rather than helping the needy and oppressed is bad for Brits.
