President Zelenskyy has welcomed UK Export Finance's £210 million commitment to support Ukraine's nuclear energy sector. This investment backs the supply of enriched uranium, a direct contribution to Ukraine's energy security and economic resilience.
I am grateful to the United Kingdom and Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer for another decision in support of Ukraine. UK Export Finance will allocate £210 million for the supply of enriched uranium to support Ukraine’s nuclear energy sector, which is the main source of power supply for our people and our economy. The UK is also introducing a new package of sanctions against Russia, targeting Russia’s shadow fleet and the financial networks the Russian Federation uses to circumvent sanctions. The new British restrictions are being applied for the first time against tankers carrying sanctioned liquefied natural gas, the proceeds from the sale of which Russia is using to finance its war. This is a necessary step, and just as with oil tankers, it is important that there ultimately be the ability not only to stop these shadow fleet vessels, but also to seize them. Thank you!
