The U.K.’s Royal Air Force is flying 1 million euros ($1.3 million) to Cyprus for military personnel stationed on the island to ensure they don’t run out of cash.
The move came after Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said two days ago that the U.K. will compensate military and civilian personnel in Cyprus who lose out as a result of the European Union’s levy on deposits in Cypriot banks to fund a rescue package for the indebted nation.
