The UK will allocate almost 2 billion pounds to Ukraine for the implementation of joint projects, in addition to a loan for the development of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to an UNIAN correspondent, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this during a joint briefing with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“In addition to funds for the Ukrainian navy, the UK is allocating almost £2 billion more for the implementation of joint concrete and mutually beneficial projects with Ukraine in other areas, in particular, infrastructure and energy,” he said.
As UNIAN reported, on November 12, 2021, in London, Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko, on behalf of the Cabinet of Ministers, signed a Ukrainian-British framework agreement that provides for the allocation of funds for the construction of eight missile boats, the purchase of two minesweepers from the United Kingdom and the creation in our country of two military sea bases.
We are talking about a loan in the amount of 1.7 billion pounds, which will be provided to Ukraine by the UK for 10 years.

Hip, hip, hooray, for Boris Johnson and Great Britain!
Boris made a good and supportive speech just now. It can be heard clearly on this link. Unfortunately Zel is speaking with the translator simultaneously, so it’s a bit hard to catch:
Putler also made a speech today with his lackey Orban, blaming the West for stopping the development of Russia.
They should be thankful there is a Russia at all after what Putin has done to the world the last 20 years.
