UK says it is necessary to develop long-term plan to support Ukraine

This was stated by a representative of the opposition Labor Party, John Healey, Reuters reports.

"What is required now from the British government ... is not just the ad hoc announcements of military help ... but a longer term plan that takes us through 2023 and beyond for the military, diplomatic, the economic, the humanitarian help that we are willing to provide Ukraine," Healey said.

Ahead of a speech to the RUSI think tank later on Tuesday, he urged the government to make it clear to Russian President Vladimir Putin that "things will get worse." Healey emphasized that Moscow's ambitions "will not stop at the Ukrainian borders." He called on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to adopt a new approach to updating foreign and defense policy.

• On January 9, the British Ministry of Defense promised to increase support for Ukraine in 2023.
