How much is Britain spending on the war in Ukraine? Britain may not be Ukraine’s biggest donor – but it has often been the first. According to a government factsheet, Britain has committed £25bn to Ukraine. But not all of that £25bn is military spending. There is £1.5bn in humanitarian aid programmes, £4.1bn in loan guarantees, and another £3.5bn in export finance: effectively a credit card that allows Ukraine to buy British goods, which it must repay. Strip those away, and we are left with £16bn in military support, of which £14bn has been allocated. But some of this money never leaves Britain. 🔗 Tap the link to read the full story by @TomHCalver and @benrileysmith ⬇️ thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
