UK leaders reaffirm support for Ukraine on 1,000th day of war

On the 1,000th day of the war in Ukraine, UK leaders reaffirmed their strong support for Ukraine. Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the UK's "ironclad" commitment as tensions rose following Vladimir Putin's new nuclear doctrine. Putin's revised policy lowers the threshold for using nuclear weapons in response to conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers. This change follows the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to use American missiles against Russian targets. The UK announced £7.5 million in funding for new drones. Defence Secretary John Healey highlighted the UK's ongoing military support, which includes training and supplying equipment to Ukraine since the start of the conflict.
