The United Kingdom has agreed to contribute to the European Union’s loan program supporting Ukraine in 2026–2027, with its contribution corresponding to the value of contracts signed with UK defence manufacturers.
This is stated in a Joint Statement of the European Union and the United Kingdom published on the European Commission’s website, according to Ukrinform.
"The European Union and the United Kingdom stand firm in their support of Ukraine and our commitment to support Ukraine as long as it takes to bring Russia's illegal war of aggression to an end and secure a comprehensive, just and lasting peace," the statement said.
The parties welcomed the signature of a contractual agreement marking the end of negotiations on the UK's participation under the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan.
"This is an important step towards the participation of the UK allowing Ukraine to procure, under the Ukraine Support Loan, from a larger pool of defence manufacturers, ensuring they have the capabilities to withstand Russian aggression. The UK will provide a fair and proportionate contribution to the costs arising from borrowing, commensurate with the value of contracts awarded to UK companies," the statement said.
