Ukraine secures $2.8 billion loan from the UK

Ukraine has secured a loan deal worth approximately $2.8 billion from the United Kingdom. This agreement follows a tense meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump, where they clashed over negotiations related to Ukraine's resources. The loan will be repaid using profits from frozen Russian assets and will support Ukraine's defense capabilities, particularly in weapons production. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly expressed strong support for Ukraine during Zelensky's visit. Zelensky's visit to the UK comes after his early departure from the White House, where he did not finalize a proposed minerals deal with the U.S. Trump criticized Zelensky's approach, suggesting it complicates peace efforts.
