UK won't be derailed by Ukraine aid freeze - Rayner
Briefly

The UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner emphasized that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer remains undeterred in his efforts to end the war in Ukraine, following the recent suspension of US military aid. The US, which is the largest military donor to Ukraine, decided to freeze aid amidst complications with President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. Rayner asserted the UK and its European allies are focused on supporting Ukraine and highlighted the importance of ongoing discussions with both the US and European leaders for achieving peace.
He won't be derailed by announcements. He will continue that dialogue with our oldest and strongest ally, the US, and with European partners and with Ukraine.
This is a very serious moment in the war, and we, along with our European allies, are focused on supporting Ukraine.
The US is by far the biggest individual donor of military aid to Ukraine, providing $69bn in military aid since the start of 2022.
The Trump administration's decision to freeze military support to Ukraine comes after an explosive spat with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
