Johnson expressed his desire to approve a new credit package for US$525 million, since, he warned, Ukraine could be starved of liquidity in the autumn without new injections of money.

That sum will bring British financial backing to a total of $1.8 billion since the start of the Russian invasion four months ago.

the ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskywill address the G7 leaders by videoconference on Monday, urging them to maintain support for their war-torn country, according to Downing Street.

“Any sign of weariness or wavering in Western support for Ukraine will be to Putin’s advantage,” underlined the British statement.

Russia is gaining more and more ground

The Russian army entered this Saturday the last important city that the Kremlin needs to conquer to finish occupying one of the eastern provinces of Ukraine.

Likewise, the Ukrainian government denounced a “massive” bombardment of its territory with missiles launched from Belarus.

“The people’s militia and the Russian army entered Lisichansk. Some businesses in the city have already been taken over. Currently, street fighting is taking place,” a representative of the pro-Russian separatists, Lt. Col. Andrei Marotchko, stated on Telegram.
