The UK and US officials, including UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps and US Senator Mark Warner, are urging for increased support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. Shapps announced a 2.5 billion British Pound military aid package for Ukraine, emphasizing the need for the West to step up and provide more weapons. Warner stressed the importance of renewing aid to Ukraine to maintain trust and partnerships. The concern is that failure to support Ukraine could lead to a victory for Putin and a fractured Western response, with potential global repercussions.
If we don’t honor our commitment to Ukraine, there’s not a single nation – friend or foe – that will fully trust us again. Renewing our aid is essential to keeping our partnerships and maintaining our place in the world.
“Not that of the people of Ukraine – they had no choice but to be brave. It was the leaders of what is known as the free world who needed to be braver to put an end to this war. A real end”. A must read by @OKhromeychuk for @guardian: https://t.co/wdR137xwIE
"Supplying weapons to Ukraine is not only our policy but our duty" - UK Ambassador to Kyiv UK is the most reliable ally I can think of right now as no UK party opposes helping Ukraine.
UK Defence Secretary @grantshapps says the UK will deliver military aid to Ukraine worth another 2.5 billion British Pounds and that it’s time for the test of the West to also step up and deliver more weapons. 🇬🇧🇺🇦 https://t.co/CxC1CEonr5
History shows dictators cannot and must not be appeased. When dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos, death, and destruction, and the cost -- and the threat -- to both America and the world keeps rising. We can and must stop Putin now or he will… https://t.co/l0c3aMOcgF
Only by increasing our support for Ukraine can we ensure a future where freedom triumphs over tyranny. Britain has stepped up to do more and now the world must do the same. #SlavaUkraini https://t.co/UV7cgErIZR
We’re staring down a historic mistake in Ukraine. If we don’t renew aid soon, Putin will get everything he wants – victory in Ukraine and a fractured Western response. We must get Ukraine the support it needs.
