The UK intends to transfer $3bn to Ukraine from the proceeds from the reinvestment of frozen Russian assets.
This was reported by the Ukrainian daily Insider following the visit of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Kiev.
This tranche will be formalised as a loan to Ukraine, which will be repaid from the proceeds from frozen Russian assets. At the same time, London intends to retain the right to veto the choice of weapons that Kiev will buy with the funds received.
The UK is one of the members of the Group of Seven, which pledged to provide Ukraine with a $50bn loan at the expense of profits from Russia’s assets blocked in the West.
Earlier, journalists of the Asia Times estimated that the freezing of Russian assets in the West had damaged the USA more than Moscow.
