This is such an unhelpful take. The UK government did Brexit while, for example, promising to redirect all the funding that went to the EU towards health care. Did it go to health care? No. Did the money go to Ukrainians? No. The government simply doesn't care about its populace, regardless of what's happening in Ukraine.

it did, see the NHS Funding Act 2020:

the increase (£412MM/week) is more than the famous bus number (£350MM/week)
