Britain to Send 1000 Missiles to Strengthen Ukraine’s Fight Against Russia

Britain to Send Missiles to Ukraine To Fight Against Russia

 

The new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has decided to help Ukraine in its war against the Russian invasion. Through a tweet, the British PM said “we will send a further 1,000 surface-to-air missiles and more than 25,000 extreme cold winter kits”.

Sunak held a telephonic talk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday regarding “multifaceted defence support” for Kiev. In a social media post following this talk, Zelensky informed that they talked about British assistance in enduring the winter period.

British PM’s office has also issued a statement regarding the talk between the two leaders. As per the statement, any Russian withdrawal from the occupied city of Kherson would demonstrate strong progress for the Ukrainian forces and reinforce the weakness of Russia’s military offensive, but it was right to continue to exercise caution until the Ukrainian flag was raised over the city.

“Zelensky also set out how UK military support is protecting vital energy infrastructure and helping Ukrainian troops to make advances on the battlefield against Putin’s unjustified invasion,” the British statement said.

The two leaders have also agreed to hold Russia accountable for actions that prevented Ukrainian grain and fertilizer from reaching international markets.
