The UK and Ukraine are united in a shared belief that nations should be sovereign, democratic and free. Russia's unprovoked attacks on Ukraine since 2014, ...
We will pursue all lawful routes to ensure that Russian assets are made available in support of Ukraine’s reconstruction, in line with international law. We will build a modern, resilient Ukrainian economy that strengthens the rule of law, tackles corruption and promotes reform. We will step up our efforts with partners to tackle Russian disinformation across the world, and deprive Russia of a platform for its propaganda. The UK has joined the Core Group of countries working jointly to ensure that Russian leaders responsible for aggression are held to account. Our countries will seek to ensure that Ukraine’s future is secure and prosperous. We will accelerate work to implement the 2020 UK-Ukraine Political, Free Trade & Strategic Agreement. In 2023 the UK will train at least double the number of Ukrainian forces trained in 2022, and provide at least £2.3bn in military aid, including more advanced capabilities. The UK therefore welcomes President Zelenskyy’s ‘ten point Peace Formula’ and supports the principles in it. We will also take determined action with partners to tackle all forms of sanctions circumvention. The UK has now sanctioned over 1,200 Russian individuals and over 120 entities since the invasion, the most extensive sanctions ever imposed against a major economy. The UK is proud to be the largest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States, with support of £2.3bn in 2022. Our countries stand side by side in the face of this aggression.
