British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced new sanctions on Russia and pledged £210 million to help Ukraine's nuclear power plants. This support aims to help Ukraine power its homes through winter and weaken Russia's finances.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced new plans to support Ukraine and put more pressure on Russia. He made these announcements while meeting other world leaders at the G7 summit in France.
Mr. Starmer pledged £210 million to help Ukraine's nuclear power plants over the next two years. This money will help ensure Ukraine has enough electricity to power homes and businesses, especially during the cold winter months.
He also revealed new sanctions against Russia. These measures will target Russia's financial dealings and its large fleet of ships used to transport oil and gas.
The goal is to make it harder for Russia to fund its military actions. The sanctions will also focus on groups helping Russia secretly get Western technology and move money around the world.
The G7 meeting brings together leaders from major countries like Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States. Mr. Starmer is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the summit.
