The UK has announced plans to boost Ukrainian grain supplies to Syria, forming part of the 100 Year partnership announced by the Government last month. Working in conjunction with the World Food Programme, the support is expected to provide a lifeline to the most vulnerable in Syria.
David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, said in a statement:
“Our support for Ukraine remains unbreakable. We are determined to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position, both in its fight against Russia and beyond, with our long-term relationship cemented by the 100 Year Partnership. We believe in building for the future between our two countries, as well as supporting Ukraine in the present, as Russia’s barbaric and relentless attacks on vital infrastructure, communities, and businesses continue. That is why we are announcing more support for innovation in Ukraine, to rebuild a more resilient and sustainable society for years to come. Delivering change at home, against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile world, means we must bolster the resilience of our partners.”
