UK on verge of joining EU's £78bn loan for Ukraine as Starmer seeks reset with Brussels

The United Kingdom is nearing participation in the European Union's €90 billion (£78 billion) loan scheme aimed at supporting Ukraine. This move comes as the UK government looks to strengthen its support for Kyiv amid ongoing challenges in the region.

In addition to financial assistance, the UK's involvement in the loan scheme reflects a broader effort to enhance defense cooperation with the EU. This development marks a significant step in the UK's relationship with the bloc, as it seeks to reset ties and align more closely with European partners in addressing the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
