      Money goes right into Belfast, I would expect this is to be the first of many orders. Money well spent IMO.

      Not an expert but feel like we should be focusing on drones, all well and good sending £x billion in aid but how effective will it be?

      All European nations should focus on ramping up internal production of drones to the hundreds of thousands and will be massive in the fight against Russia.

      This is the same guy who says we don’t have the money to support the disabled. It’s all so tiring.

      Europe should announce all of this together as one package, instead of little bits here and there. It would have a much bigger impact in terms of showing support etc.

      I fully support this.

      But this shows we have money – I want money spent improving the UK (as well as this).

      I’m a leftie so this isn’t an anti foreign aid type argument, but I don’t want excuses about not improving the NHS etc, we have the money!

      Good, we need to start decoupling our military and defence infrastructure from American MIC. It was never moral to spend so much money on American military companies, but this time they have proven to be an unreliable partner. We need to stop spending $$$ on military but £££ and €€€ instead.

      We should ramp up domestic weapons production and kickstart economic growth by becoming the armoury of Europe

      Why isn’t a functioning civil state and public services as important as money for weapons?

      Made himself a war criminal now like the rest of them handing over weapons. Shouldn’t the United Nations be banning weapons to prevent wars? Well done United Nations.

      Is this coming from the defence budget like all the previous pledges? People wont be happy if he cuts internal spending to fight somebody else’s war.

      Yep problem solved, we’ll see you again with your pockets out turned in about 6 months Zelenskyy. 👍 Off you go, send us a postcard.

      Honest question, I want to help Ukraine with their war effort, military help, that sort.

      What’s the most effective/ efficient way for me to do so?

      This is misleading, fuck you op.

      we sold, made money. Motherfuckers always pulling shit headlines like this.

      Imagine what society would look like if we announced a 1.6bn package to tackle and eradicate homelessness within our own land. Too much to ask I guess..
