On Wednesday, the British Prime Minister said that the United Kingdom (UK) will provide further military support to Ukraine, due to the increasingly threatening behavior of Russia. He also stated that this will involve both lethal and non-lethal assistance, such as defensive weaponry.

"In light of the increasingly threatening behavior from Russia and in line with our previous support, the UK will shortly be providing a further package of military support to Ukraine. This will include lethal aid in the form of defensive weapons and non-lethal aid," Johnson told parliament.

In the meanwhile, the UK has announced $500 million in loans to help Ukraine and promised to alleviate the economic effects of Russian aggression. Johnson also indicated that even more sanctions against Russia is coming when he was asked to unleash a full package of actions by Labour leader Keir Starmer, who said that they want to keep Europe safe from invasion. Starmer suggested that more restrictions should be imposed, including a prohibition on trading in Russian government debt and exclusion from financial mechanisms such as the Switch payment system
