Britain is to lend Ukraine an additional £2.26bn and allow Kyiv to spend the money on weapons to fight off the Russian invasion as part of a wider $50bn (£38.5bn) loan programme expected to be confirmed by G7 members later this week.

The loans will be repaid using interest generated by the $300bn of frozen Russian assets held in the west, with the extra funds promised as the US heads towards a presidential election where support for Ukraine is a divisive issue.

Rachel Reeves said: “The profits being made on those assets aren’t being kept for Russia to use in the future. They’re now being used to fund Ukraine.” The chancellor made the announcement alongside the defence secretary, John Healey.

Any sources on this?

Sure, what exactly would you like to have source for? People being mass imprisioned in Ukraine? Zelensky's concentration camps? Kidnappings of people?

Edit: reading through your comment history you sound like a meth head lmao

Why? Because I'm "slightly unhappy" with Zelensky trying to kill me, my friends, family, and well, all Ukrainians? :/

(If you went through my comment history, you should have seen sources for everything I've said already, but I don't mind reposting them for you)
