The UK will provide military aid funding to Ukraine for every year for the rest of the decade, John Healey said. The defence secretary told Times Radio: If we take the starting point that the defence of the UK starts in Ukraine and if Putin wins in Ukraine he will not stop there, then we must stand with Ukraine, we're determined to do that. And it isn't just that. We've stepped up extra support in these first two weeks in government. We've also confirmed the commitment of extra military aid funding this year and for every year for the rest of the decade. As long as it takes.
Good morning and welcome to our UK politics blog. Volodymyr Zelenskiy is addressing the cabinet this morning to bring fresh impetus to efforts to stop Russia evading sanctions on its oil exports. The Ukrainian president is in the UK after attending yesterday's summit of the European Political Community, hosted by Keir Starmer at Blenheim Palace. At the meeting, European leaders agreed to launch a call to action to disrupt the growing fleet of phantom tankers carrying sanctioned Russian oil around the world.
