LIZ TRUSS’s promise to send at least £2.3 billion in military aid to Ukraine next year risks “adding fuel to the fire of war,” peace campaigners in Ukraine and Britain have warned.
The PM has committed to match or exceed the amount of military support given to Ukrainian troops in 2022 to fight the Russian invasion.
Ms Truss made the announcement as she prepared to fly to New York on Tuesday morning.
