British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced billions in support for Ukraine on Sunday following a summit with European leaders, just days after President Donald Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.
Starmer announced a loan of 2.2 billion British pounds ($2.8 billion) to support Ukraine, funded through the freezing of Russian assets passed on Saturday. He also highlighted a new deal that would allow Ukraine to use 1.6 billion pounds ($2 billion) in export finance to buy missiles made in Northern Ireland.
Starmer vowed to bolster Ukraine to allow the nation to negotiate a peace agreement from a position of power.
“We have to learn from the mistakes of the past,” Starmer said at a press conference. “We cannot accept a weak deal like Minsk, which Russia can break with ease. Instead any deal must be backed with strength. Every nation must contribute to that in the best way that it can.”

Eventually he’ll try to get the US to pay for it.
The UK will be an outright enemy of the U.S. in less than 20 years, barring a civil war there. We might as well start treating them like one.
I don’t know if he’ll be in office that long
Where is he getting the money all his money is being burned creating CO2 for The Paris Accord ,LOL
Turkey will be our biggest enemy by then.
Keir can’t even handle the problems in his nation. F UK & F UKraine.
The UK has a Deep State, too.
Starmer serves at its pleasure.
The UK will suffer for it as long as they submit to their Deep State.
You think whomever takes his place will be any better?
We were giving them money at a rate a hundred times that, at a pop.
“Every nation must contribute to that in the best way that it can”
This guy is as bad as the Ukrainian midget telling countries what they “must” do.....Eff that noise.
You’re gonna live to regret those words.....and the money you’re pissing away as well.
Every nation must contribute to that in the best way that it can.”
FO, Limey!
Pocket change for Z
“Eventually he’ll try to get the US to pay for it”
Eventually is gonna be 4 years away at least.
Thank God (for many reasons) we have the POTUS we do right now.
but Z says he needs $250 billion - ahem. Starmer is pledging British boots on the ground which may help to upset the public even more than it is already. i doubt he will be around too much longer.
This guy Starmer has Napoleonic fantasies. Could just imagine him in a room with Macron.
I suspect one of the things the Democrats told Zelenskyy was that if Trump continued to “support” Putin, they would impeach him, and therefore Zelenskyy should not give in to Trump.
Trump told the little con man he didn’t have the cards.
The con man must have went to the UK seeking cards.
I got news for the con man,the cards Trump spoke of didn’t acknowledge jokers wild.
