The United Kingdom plans to increase the amount of financial aid it will provide to Russia next year for chemical weapons disposal efforts, British Ambassador to Russia Roderick Lyne said Tuesday (see GSN, June 4). 

The United Kingdom has pledged to provide about $750 million over 10 years to help fund Russian nonproliferation projects through the Group of Eight’s Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction program (see GSN, June 2; Interfax, June 3 in FBIS-SOV, June 3).
