Liz Truss vows that “We will rebuild Ukraine”

Liz Truss told a Ukraine recovery conference in Switzerland that the UK is “resolute” in its support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and will “continue to lead in supporting the Ukrainian government’s reconstruction and development plan”.

Truss said: “This needs to be a new Marshall Plan for Ukraine and it needs to be driven by Ukraine itself.

“We will push for immediate investment and to drive economic growth because it’s absolutely imperative we get the Ukrainian economy going.

“We need to be able to support Ukrainians to Ukraine, we need to give people hope about the future, and we need to give them the means to be able to support themselves.”

Asked how to make the UK’s support sustainable, she said “the number one thing we have to do is to help Ukraine recover its economy in the shortest possible time-frame”, and open ports so the war-torn nation can export its agricultural goods.
