At the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing in London on Friday, October 24, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer highlighted the importance of utilizing frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s defense. The Coalition of the Willing, a group of countries committed to supporting Ukraine, has been instrumental in coordinating international efforts to provide military and financial aid. Starmer’s suggestion marks another step in the ongoing strategy to ensure Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russian aggression.
The discussions during the meeting focused on various means to strengthen Ukraine’s position in the conflict. Starmer argued that redirecting the frozen assets from Russian banks could provide a significant financial boost to Ukraine’s military operations. This approach aligns with the broader international stance of holding Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine. The Coalition of the Willing continues to work towards securing additional resources and support for Ukraine’s defense efforts.
