Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK will supply enriched uranium to Ukraine to support its nuclear power stations. The announcement comes ahead of a G7 summit session and is framed as part of broader UK backing for Ukraine, including measures aimed at increasing pressure on Russia. Starmer also says the UK will introduce a fresh round of sanctions against Russia, responding to what he describes as Russia’s “barbaric” strikes.
One outlet reports that the enriched uranium arrangement is supported through UK Export Finance funding of £210 million, which is described as intended to secure supplies for around two years and sustain jobs in the UK. Other reports focus on the same core steps: the uranium supply for Ukraine’s nuclear energy needs and the new sanctions aimed at Russia. Across the sources, the timing is consistent—Starmer makes the announcement ahead of the G7—and the policy objective is presented as combining energy support for Ukraine with economic and diplomatic pressure on Russia.
