Britain is preparing a ‘triple whammy’ to support Ukraine
Media reports indicate that the UK government is to announce a new large-scale aid package for Ukraine on 24 February, dubbed the ‘triple whammy‘.
According to The Telegraph, Prime Minister Starmer may present as early as Monday:
- Expanding military assistance
- Additional sanctions against Russia
- Political support for Kyiv in the international arena
The new package of measures will be presented despite pressure from Donald Trump, who is demanding concessions from Kyiv in the war with Russia.
