The statement from the Foreign Secretary came within minutes of the Prime Minister's announcement of his decision to increase defence spending to 2.5% GDP by 2027.
Commenting on the Foreign Secretary's commitment, Alison Bennett said:
"I’m incredibly pleased that the Foreign Secretary has backed the Liberal Democrats’ long-held call to seize frozen Russian assets and funnel them towards support for Ukraine.
"As Trump and Putin prepare to carve up Ukraine in a shoddy deal, it’s vital that we continue to provide Kyiv with the support it needs to resist Russia and negotiate from a position of strength. These assets would do just that.
"Starmer should now confirm that the Government will push ahead with this in support of our Ukrainian allies.”
