The U.K. is set to provide over 10 billion pounds ($13.3 billion) in support for Ukraine in 2027, British Finance Minister John Healey announced on Oct. 28.
The announcement came as part of Healey's presentation of the U.K. budget for 2027, and amid growing pressure from the EU and Ukraine for Kyiv's partners to step up their financial support to Ukraine.
"Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine poses a serious threat to U.K. prosperity and security," reads a social media post from the U.K.'s finance ministry.
"That's why this budget is providing over 10 billion pounds in additional support to Ukraine," the post reads.
"It was the biggest financial package ever committed to Ukraine by the U.K. and was a symbol of this government's commitment to ensuring Ukraine had the means to continue its courageous fight against Russia's illegal invasion," said U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed the announcement as "a truly strong and very timely step — coming right as Russia needs to see and feel that Ukraine will not be left alone," in a social media post.
"I am grateful to Britain, to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his team, and to every person around the world who understands that standing with Ukraine is the right thing to do — that it means being on the right side of history," Zelensky said.
A U.K. government press release further breaks down the pledge into a mixture of financial, military, and energy infrastructure support.
Specifically, 5.5 billion pounds ($7.3 billion) will go into "World Bank guarantees" and a further half a billion pounds ($660 million) to the World Bank's crisis facility.

With what? The UK is broker than we are.
There’s more to Europe than the UK. Where’s their money?
“The U.K. is set to provide over 10 billion pounds ($13.3 billion) in support for Ukraine in 2027....Specifically, 5.5 billion pounds ($7.3 billion) will go into “World Bank guarantees’”
That’s about 60 pounds a Brit (I use the term as loosely as Whitehall) in gift money.
“There’s more to Europe than the UK. Where’s their money?”
80% of 2026 is gone
30% of the promised EU money for 2026 was handed over
With what? The UK is broker than we are.
Ya, the don’t even have Penny for the toilet,LOL
I guess the UK has money to burn.
Technically I think we are the brokest. We just have a greater ability to get suckers to buy our worthless dollars
Runt grifter will get nothing from the EU.
They don’t even have the gumption to fight off the Islamic horde they allowed in to their countries.
Soon the horde will take over and loot the vatican.
Meloni’s 500 soldiers won’t be able to stop it..
I am to the point that we side with Putin and crush islamic britain/Europe in one fell swoop and then bleed China economically...we have more in common with Russia than any other f kin country...THEN ban islam as it is a war/political theology and residing and breeding on our soil is war posture for them....FK islam and FK allah...to the end of time. Kill em now.
They’re getting enough to stick it to Russia
Not dead yet!
So you have no qualms about siding with Hitler?
Thanks for revealing yourself
So Zelensky is hoping that the Democrats will win big so he can continue the war.
Hitler murdered Jews and courted Muslims.
If that’s a fact, tell me, am I lying?
Hitler murdered Jews and courted Muslims.
If that’s a fact, tell me, am I lying?
I wonder what the English citizen has to say, their country is imploding, they are already one of the highest taxed nations, record energy and inflation, but their corrupted government flushes THEIR money down the stench filled Ukie toilet?
They are ripe for a “ reckoning”.
Hitler murdered people of every race and nationality in Europe (including many in his own country)
Hitler also attacked and invaded many neighboring countries without any provocation
POOTIN DOES THE SAME
(Pootin also courts Muslims ... he’s buddies with the leaders of Iran and Hamas ... Hamas launched that Oct. 7th attack on Israel ON POOTIN’S BIRTHDAY FFS)
“Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine poses a serious threat to U.K. prosperity and security,”
*******************************************************
Yes, Russia’s false flag destruction of the vital Nord Stream natural gas pipeline and implementation of severe restrictions on export of petroleum products to Europe with the resulting soaring energy costs have adversely affected the UK. Damn Ruskies!
lol. The UK and EU promises the moon and delivers nothing.
