Sunak Links Economic Security To National Security

UK

Chancellor Rishi Sunak: "So when I talk about security, yes – I mean responding to the war in Ukraine. But I also mean the security of a faster growing economy. The security of more resilient public finances. And security for working families as we help with the cost of living."

  • "We are supplying military aid to help Ukraine defend its borders. Providing around £400m in economic and humanitarian aid… …as well as up to $0.5bn in multilateral financial guarantees."
  • "And we are imposing sanctions of unprecedented scale and scope: We’ve sanctioned over 1,000 individuals, entities, and subsidiaries. Frozen the assets of major Russian banks. Imposed punitive tariffs on key products. Restricted Russia’s access to sterling clearing… To insurance. To the UK’s capital markets. To SWIFT. And we’ve targeted the Russian Central Bank, too."
