7 economic aid, 3 years 3 export support

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the British package is £7 billion in economic assistance over three years and £3 billion in export support, mainly to finance weapons deliveries. It comes on top of Britain's existing annual aid.

Zelenskyy said the Dutch military package of €500 million is being prepared this fall, after he met Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten in The Hague on Oct 28. He said it matters especially for repelling Russian air attacks.
