Rishi Sunak believes that Western allies should double their military support for Ukraine.
“And that’s why the UK will be the first country to provide Ukraine with longer-range weapons. And it’s why we’re working with our allies to give Ukraine the most advanced air defence systems, and build the air force they need to defend their nation. Now of course, the UK stands ready to help any country, provide planes that Ukraine can use today. But we must also train Ukrainian pilots to use the most advanced jets, and that’s exactly what Britain is doing,” explained the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Rishi Sunak also noted that Great Britain allocated 2.3 billion pounds sterling (2.6 billion euros) to help Kyiv in 2022, and this year it will allocate the same amount or more.
