"In relation to the EU loan that we are discussing participating in, that is very good for Ukraine, because it will give Ukraine capability that is desperately needs in year five of this conflict."
"It's very good for the UK, because of the capability that leads to jobs in the United Kingdom. And it's very good for UK-EU relations, which is very important as we go on to the various discussions."
"The extra funding to Ukraine could unlock opportunity for British businesses to fill urgent capability needs for Ukraine as part of the initiative and give British defence industry access to major contracts."
Keir Starmer is in Armenia advocating for the UK to join a €90bn loan for Ukraine during the European Political Community summit. This loan, previously stalled by Hungary's Viktor Orban, aims to bolster Ukraine's military capabilities. Joining the loan would also provide British firms access to contracts funded by it, enhancing job opportunities in the UK. Starmer emphasizes the importance of this initiative for UK-EU relations and positions it as part of a broader strategy to strengthen ties post-Brexit.
