• US has suspended all military aid to Ukraine, White House official says, in wake of Trump-Zelenskyy row

The UK government has reiterated it is committing to supporting Ukraine after the Donald Trump administration suspended US military aid.

In a statement, Downing Street said:

We remain absolutely committed to securing a lasting peace in Ukraine and are engaging with key allies in support of this effort. It is the right thing to do, and is in our interest to do so.

We have bolstered Ukrainian military capabilities through our commitment to provide Ukraine with £3bn-a-year in military aid for as long as it takes and through a £2.26bn loan using sanctioned Russian assets.
