In the US, a planned aid package is currently being passed through the House of Representatives, and new support is planned for Great Britain. London wants to support Ukraine with military aid worth about 580 million euros.
Great Britain wants to support Ukraine with military aid worth 500 million pounds (almost 580 million euros). Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will announce the assistance during his visit to Warsaw, his office said. Cunak will travel to the Polish capital this Tuesday for talks with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. It should be about Ukraine and European security. Sunak will then travel to Germany, where he will meet Chancellor Olaf Scholes in Berlin on Wednesday.
“Defending Ukraine against Russia's brutal ambitions is vital to our security and that of Europe as a whole,” Sunak said ahead of his trip. If Russian President Vladimir Putin wins, “he will not stand on the Polish border.”
Russia launched a war of aggression against Ukraine in February 2022. For months, the Russian military has been on the offensive in various locations along a nearly 1,000-kilometer front in eastern and southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian army faces shortages of ammunition and difficulties in recruiting new soldiers. Ukraine expects an even stronger Russian summer offensive in the coming months.
On Saturday, the US House of Representatives introduced an aid package worth about $61 billion (about 57 billion euros) for Ukraine after months of blockade. The Senate must still take up the package on Tuesday and give its approval before it can be signed into law by US President Joe Biden.
