But he continues, quote, Through my discussions over recent days, we've agreed that the U.K., France, and others will work with Ukraine on a plan to stop the fighting, Starmer said at a press conference on Sunday.

So higher than that. So you're even more pessimistic. Okay. That includes a loan of 2.26 billion British pounds, which is $2.84 billion.
