LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Britain announced a package of military, humanitarian and reconstruction support for Ukraine on Tuesday, exactly four years since Russia's invasion.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer will later lead a call of the Coalition of the Willing group of allies, and foreign minister Yvette Cooper will attend commemorations in Kyiv.
The government announced:
- 20 million pounds ($26.98 million) for emergency energy support to protect and repair Ukraine's energy grid and provide additional generation capacity.
- 5.7 million pounds of humanitarian assistance to communities on the frontline of the conflict.
- Training in Britain for Ukrainian pilots to become helicopter flying instructors.
- 5 million pounds to support justice and accountability efforts for victims and survivors of alleged Russian war crimes.
