UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband made his first visit to Ukraine on October 8, 2026, announcing a £54 million funding package to bolster the country's energy and humanitarian resilience ahead of winter. During the trip, Miliband visited the site of the deadly Pryluky missile strike alongside President Zelensky, who urged Western allies to increase sanctions on Russia and expand air defense support. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha also held talks with Miliband at a hospital in Pryluky treating victims of the strike.
