And this assistance is very timely right now,&#8221; Ukrainian Foreign Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/andrii-sybiha\/\">Andrii Sybiha<\/a> said at a press conference with his British counterpart, David Lammy, attended by the Kyiv Independent.<\/p>\n<p>Lammy is <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/uk-foreign-secretary-lammy-arrives-in-kyiv\/\">visiting<\/a> Kyiv to discuss continued U.K. support for <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\">Ukraine<\/a> as it is about to enter the fourth year of Russia&#8217;s full-scale invasion. The U.K. official is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/new-uk-support-for-ukraine-drives-forward-100-year-partnership\">expected<\/a> to assess firsthand how British aid is assisting Ukraine on the battlefield and in civilian infrastructure recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The new funding is part of a broader 100-year <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/ukraine-uk-sign-100-year-partnership-agreement\/\">partnership agreement<\/a> signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Jan. 16.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the financial aid, the U.K. will allocate 3 million pounds ($3.7 million) to supply Ukrainian grain and other food products to <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/syria\/\">Syria<\/a>, working with the World Food Program.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unlike Russian grain supplies to the brutal Assad regime, which attempted to buy favor while burdening Syria with costly debt, this planned support will provide a lifeline to the most vulnerable in Syria,&#8221; the British government&#8217;s statement read.<\/p>\n<p>London previously <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/uk-to-send-ukraine-artillery-barrels-air-defense-system-as-part-of-2-6b-package-funded-by-russian-assets\/\">committed<\/a> a record 3 billion pounds ($3.6 billion) in military aid to Ukraine for 2024, including advanced weapons systems and munitions. The first 1.5 billion pounds ($1.8 billion) of a 2.26 billion pound ($2.7 billion) loan under the G7 program will also be released to fund major procurement projects for Ukraine&#8217;s defense.<\/p>\n<p>The loan will be repaid using profits from immobilized <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/russian-assets\/\">Russian assets<\/a>, marking another step in the West&#8217;s efforts to use Russia&#8217;s frozen funds to finance Ukraine&#8217;s war effort and recovery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have agreed on the need to continue using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. In the near future, we will begin utilizing funds from the U.K. loan of more than 2 billion pounds ($2.5 billion) sourced from these assets,&#8221; Sybiha said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-bookmark-card\"><a class=\"kg-bookmark-container\" href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/uk-doesnt-see-russia-being-serious-about-negotiations-peace\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-content\">\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-title\">UK doesn\u2019t see Russia being \u2018serious about negotiations\u2019 with Ukraine<\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-description\">\u201cWe do not see (that) Russia is serious about negotiations and serious about peace,\u201d U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said alongside his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha.<\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-metadata\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"kg-bookmark-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.kyivindependent.com\/content\/images\/size\/w256h256\/format\/png\/2023\/03\/K-new.svg\" alt=\"UK pledges $69 million to boost Ukraine's resilience, grain deliveries to Syria\"><span class=\"kg-bookmark-author\">The Kyiv Independent<\/span><span class=\"kg-bookmark-publisher\">Martin Fornusek<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-bookmark-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euro-tv.ro\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/GettyImages-2171444035-1.jpg\" alt=\"UK pledges $69 million to boost Ukraine's resilience, grain deliveries to Syria\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> &#8211; https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/tag\/ukraine\/rss\/<\/p>\n<p>This article appeared on the websitekyivindependent.com<br \/>\nThis article is taken based on Law no. 8\/1996 of Romania.
