EU leaders to press Burnham to pay more towards Ukraine’s defence

EU leaders are set to ask the UK to increase its financial support for Ukraine's defence efforts. This request comes as part of a broader call for the UK, along with other countries like Canada and Japan, to 'step up' their contributions to Ukraine's defence. The EU is seeking additional financial aid from these countries, particularly the UK, which is seen as a key player in the region. This increased pressure on the UK could have implications for the country's relationships with its European counterparts.

Why it matters

The EU wants the UK to increase its financial support for Ukraine's defence. This move could lead to increased tensions between the EU and UK, especially with post-Brexit issues still on the agenda.
