UK will provide more military aid to Ukraine this year than ever before, according to Starmer.

The United Kingdom will provide greater military support to Ukraine in 2025 than ever before, stated Prime Minister of the UK Keir Starmer on February 3.

Previously, the United Kingdom announced plans to deliver unprecedented military aid to Ukraine this year, having already allocated $3.6 billion for lethal weaponry for Kyiv.

"We must do everything possible to support Ukraine's defense," Starmer said at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels.

"This means stabilizing the front line, providing necessary equipment and training, and therefore this year the UK will offer greater military support to Ukraine than ever before," he noted.

Just weeks prior, the United Kingdom and Ukraine signed a historic 100-year partnership agreement in Kyiv. The extensive agreement covers cooperation in military, energy, scientific, cultural, economic, and other areas.

During the press conference, Starmer spoke about the devastating consequences of the full-scale war with Russia, which he witnessed during his recent visit to Kyiv.

"I saw residential buildings destroyed literally just days before," he said.

"I met soldiers in intensive care recovering from truly horrific burns. And I met children whose parents are currently on the front lines, and this is yet another reminder that this is a war not only in Ukraine but a war against Ukraine, against these children and their future," added the head of the British government.

Starmer emphasized the importance for Ukraine's allies, especially its European partners, to step up efforts to assist Kyiv in providing the necessary weaponry for defense.

He also mentioned the recent threat from U.S. President Donald Trump to impose sanctions against Russia.

"It is clear that this has unsettled Putin," Starmer said.

"We know he is concerned about the state of the Russian economy. So I am here to work with our European partners to maintain pressure (on Russia), targeting revenues from energy and companies supplying their missile factories, to dismantle Putin's military machine," the Prime Minister noted.

Starmer promised that the United Kingdom would play a "full role" in peacekeeping processes in Ukraine, possibly including the deployment of British troops to monitor a ceasefire if one is achieved.

The United Kingdom and other European countries have pledged to take a greater role in defending Ukraine from Russia amid a change in the U.S. government. Trump has already restricted U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine and other countries, and it remains unclear what the future holds for arms supplies from Washington to Kyiv.
