Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will pledge to stand with Ukraine “as long as it takes” as he announces three billion US dollars (£2.35 billion) in bank loan guarantees to bolster Kyiv’s rebuild.
Opening a major conference in London focused on Ukraine’s recovery after Russia’s invasion, Mr Sunak will hail the country’s “defiance” as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s troops use a counter-offensive to push back the Kremlin’s forces.
