The United Kingdom will supply Ukraine with enriched uranium worth $280 million. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
The UK government has decided to supply Ukraine with enriched uranium worth $280 million. This material can be used as nuclear fuel and is aimed at strengthening Ukraine's energy security. Under the supply agreement, the UK will also provide Ukraine with services in the nuclear fuel cycle.
This step is part of the UK's strategy to increase military and energy support for Ukraine. In recent months, London has increased supplies of weapons, ammunition, and financial aid to Kyiv. The supply of enriched uranium will allow Ukraine to develop its nuclear infrastructure and increase its energy independence.
According to experts, this agreement will help support Ukraine's nuclear power plants and ensure its fuel security. However, this step may face criticism from Russia, as Moscow has expressed concerns about the proliferation of nuclear materials.
The UK's decision is part of a broader program to support Ukraine's energy sector and reduce its dependence on Russia. The delivery timelines and specific terms have not yet been announced.
