It is more performative, to show support against Putin!

@samueltyler2 A 100-year deal that pledges to give £3 billion a year to Ukraine for next seven years and envisages “military formations” and building military bases in Ukraine is not performative.

@emiliya wow, i guess not, that is a lot of money.

@emiliya With perhaps the exception of the money it is performative because the UK has no means to really do any of that. It is vague promises of something, maybe happening in the future.
As for the money most if not all of that will go directly to UK arms companies, not Ukraine but be earmarked for weapons contracts with Ukraine....so basically corporate welfare for western weapons companies.
