London-UK Prime Minister reaffirmed our unwavering support for President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine. This was disclosed here by Preet Gill MP. She said that we are at a crossroads in our history. Once again, we live in an era where peace in Europe depends upon strength and deterrence. That’s why the Prime Minister has announced the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the Cold War.
The Prime Minister also announced a deal with Ukraine that allows them to use £1.6 billion of UK Export Finance to buy 5,000 air defense missiles, manufactured in Belfast. That will enable us to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position for peace, and create new jobs and apprenticeships in our country.
The Prime Minister has announced thousands of small UK businesses will now receive government support to ensure they benefit from the decision to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP. This will include a new support hub to guide small businesses on accessing the defense supply chain, unlocking new jobs and putting more money in people’s pockets.
