Ukraine is set to receive significant military support as the U.S. and UK step up their aid amidst ongoing conflict with Russia. The U.S. Congress recently passed a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine, which includes much-needed artillery ammunition to address the worsening shell shortage. Meanwhile, the UK, represented by Foreign Secretary David Cameron, has committed to providing £3 billion annually in military assistance. Cameron's visit to Kyiv emphasized the urgency of delivering these weapons, including air defense systems, to bolster Ukraine's capabilities against Russian forces. The Kremlin has reacted strongly to statements by Cameron and French President Macron, warning that such actions could escalate tensions and threaten European security. Cameron's comments about Ukraine using UK weapons inside Russia were termed a 'direct escalation' and 'dangerous to European security' by the Kremlin.
