UK preparing for different scenarios of Trump's policy towards Ukraine

The UK government is considering possible options in the context of US President-elect Donald Trump's approach to Ukraine. Source: Darren Jones, Chief Secretary to the Treasury in an interview with Sky News; European Pravda reports Details: Jones assured that in view of Trump's victory in the US elections, the United Kingdom would not abandon its commitments to support Ukraine.

The minister added this was why they were offering Ukraine GBP3 billion a year, which, as he mentioned, was a difficult but right decision for them in the financial context of the UK.

The figure of GBP3 billion in support for Ukraine for 2024 was set by the previous Conservative government led by Rishi Sunak.

Jones said that the UK officials "will be looking at and planning for many different scenarios of what they would do under any US administration" to make sure that the UK "is in the strongest possible position".

Background: 

• During the election campaign, Trump said that he would find a solution to end the war in Ukraine "in 24 hours", but did not explain how he would do it.
• The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's entourage is considering the idea of freezing the front line with a demilitarised zone and a 20-year moratorium on Ukraine's NATO membership to fulfil the president-elect's promise to "end the war quickly" in Ukraine.
