Caption: Farage Would Take 'Keen Look' At UK Support For 'Corrupt' Ukraine. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says his party would take a "keen look" at Britain's support for Ukraine if it entered government. Farage described Ukraine as "one of the most corrupt countries on earth" and said he was concerned about where some British taxpayers' money had gone. He stressed he had never opposed supporting Ukraine but wanted to ensure British funding was not being "swallowed up in corruption”. The UK has committed £25 billion to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion, including £16 billion in military support. Farage disagreed with U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel and declined to support Trump's call for Ukraine to get a new president. He said Ukraine would eventually need an election but added that the timing remained uncertain amid the continuing war. Farage also said Russian President Vladimir Putin now posed a greater threat than ever and described NATO as a "huge success”. He said Britain's role in NATO remained vital as a bridge between Europe and the United States and stressed the importance of keeping America committed to the alliance.
