The United Kingdom is preparing to strike a "triple blow" in Russia in connection with the third anniversary of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. According to the British edition of The Telegraph , Prime Minister Cyrus Stars will announce a new military assistance package for Ukraine, extended sanctions against Russia, and intensified measures to combat Russian "dirty money".
The expected step in the British government contrasts sharply with the approach of Donald Trump, who has recently said to reduce Ukraine's support. In particular, Trump called President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky a "dictator" and insists on the end of the war as soon as possible, even through a concern for Russia.
The former US President also accused allies, including London, of lack of conflict. However, Britain seems to be ready to demonstrate determination in support of Ukraine, showing that the war should be completed under Kyiv, not the Kremlin.
According to The Telegraph , a package of measures is developed in the interaction of three key British agencies: the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Military Assistance to Ukraine
The UK Ministry of Defense will announce new supply of military equipment and weapons for the Armed Forces. Although the details of the package are not yet opened, it is expected that it will include high -precision missiles, artillery ammunition and air defense systems. -
New sanctions against Russia
are preparing a large -scale set of sanctions that will affect both Russian financial structures and persons who support Putin. Companies that help the Kremlin can bypass restrictions, as well as those involved in military aggression, can get under sancing pressure. -
The fight against Russian "dirty money"
of the UK Ministry of Internal Affairs will introduce new measures aimed at complicating money laundering by Russian oligarchs that support Putin. The target of Russian businessmen, their real estate and bank accounts in the United Kingdom will be expected.
The announcement of new sanctions and assistance to Ukraine is scheduled for February 24 - a date that became a symbol of Ukraine's struggle for independence and territorial integrity. In the three years of the war, the United Kingdom remained one of Kyiv's most expelled allies, providing significant military, financial and diplomatic support.
