Britain to become the first country to provide Ukraine with long-range weapons

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated that his country would be the first to provide Ukraine with long-range weapons.

“The UK will be the first country to provide Ukraine with long-range weapons,” he said.

According to Sunak, in order to win the war, “Ukraine needs more artillery, armored vehicles and air defense.”

Rishi Sunak is also urging allies to “double down” on military support for Ukraine. Sunak asks allies to provide Ukrainians with “advanced capabilities by NATO standards that they need for the future”.

“We must demonstrate that we will remain on their side and are able to help them defend their country.

When Putin started this war, he believed that our resolve would falter. Even now, he is betting that we will lose our nerves,” Sunak said in a speech.

The British Prime Minister believes that “what is at stake in this war is even greater than the security and sovereignty of one nation.”

“Russia’s invasion, its heinous war crimes, and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric are symptoms of a broader threat to everything we believe in,” the report says.

Besides, according to him, Britain is ready to train Ukrainian pilots so that they can fly modern fighters.

Sunak noted that in order to ensure peace in the future, it was necessary to change the world order.

“The Cold War-era agreements were incapacitated. We need a new legal framework to preserve peace. Mr. Stoltenberg said that Ukraine will become a member of NATO in the future, but so far this has not happened, we must equip Ukraine with advanced protective equipment. Ukraine needs our assurances of security. And before the summit in Vilnius, we will gather to give such assurances. We will provide guarantees within which we will protect Ukraine from future repression of Russia,” Sunak added.

It should be reminded that in early February, the Ukrainian military arrived in the UK to begin training on British AS-90 self-propelled guns.
