Ministers have been instructed to disclose their plans to provide financial support for Ukraine’s war efforts in 2024 in the United Kingdom.
Ministers have been cautioned that the UK needs to ensure continued military funding for Ukraine’s defense in the coming year.
The UK government has provided £4.6 billion in aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the war. However, there have been inquiries regarding the lack of additional funding announced in the Chancellor’s autumn statement to assist the country in defending itself against Russian aggression until 2024.
The Government was confronted by Labour and senior members of the Conservative party regarding potential aid in the future. Defence minister James Heappey promised to make an official announcement in the House of Commons once the plans were finalized.
In a statement to the House of Commons, John Healey, the Shadow Defence Secretary, stated that the Defence Secretary (Grant Shapps) had previously emphasized the importance of not overlooking Ukraine. However, the recent autumn statement seemed to do just that.
The Prime Minister is withholding military funding and an action plan for Ukraine in 2024, which is concerning as Ukraine is currently in need of reassurance and steadfast support from its allies.
The level of UK involvement in Ukraine is decreasing. The £2.3 billion allocated for military funding this year will expire in March, and Germany recently revealed plans to provide eight billion euros in military assistance for next year.
The Labour spokesperson further stated: “When will the Prime Minister prove through his choices and deeds that Britain will support Ukraine until victory is achieved?”
