High energy bills for UK households are price of resisting Putin, Boris Johnson says as he visits Kyiv and pledges further £54m package of military aid – By Samuel Osborne (Sky News) / Aug 24, 2022
The prime minister announced another package of support for Ukraine including unmanned surveillance and missile systems.
Boris Johnson says high energy bills are something UK households must endure as part of the effort to resist Vladimir Putin, as he returned to Ukraine to mark its independence day.
The prime minister was pictured in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and received an award from the Ukrainian leader.
The Prime Minister said “if we’re paying in our energy bills for the evils of Vladimir Putin, the people of Ukraine are paying in their blood”.
Making his last trip to Ukraine before leaving office, Mr Johnson set out a further £54 million of military aid, including drones to target Russian forces.
