Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will commit the UK to long-term support for Ukraine after the conflict with Russia ends on Monday.

Truss is scheduled to attend a Ukraine Recovery Conference in Switzerland, where she will pledge both immediate humanitarian aid and access to British financial and economic expertise.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been hawkish in his support for President Volodymyr Zelensky, visiting Kyiv twice since the conflict began in late February.

Last week, he pledged another £1 billion ($1.2 billion) in military aid to Ukraine, taking the total support provided in terms of weapons and other hardware to £2.3 billion.

According to Truss’s department, she will tell delegates that Ukraine’s recovery “will be a symbol of the power of democracy over autocracy”.
