UK Defense Chief Says Ukraine To Increase Long-Range Strikes In Russia<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Just as President Biden was signing into effect the newly approved foreign defense package which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, the United Kingdom also rolled out its own massive aid package (though paling in comparison), first unveiled Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Britain announced its single largest aid package for Ukraine yet, at\u00a0the equivalent of\u00a0$620 million<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a3500 million). According to UK\u00a0NATO officials<\/a>, the arms include\u00a0Storm Shadow missiles\u00a0<\/strong>among\u00a0<\/b>a total of 1,600 strike and air defense missiles, four million rounds of ammo, 60 boats, and over 400 vehicles.<\/p>\n

Even though the White House is\u00a0busy cautioning<\/a>\u00a0that in the coming months\u00a0Russia is likely to make more gains on the front lines<\/strong>, according to fresh words of Jake Sullivan, British leadership is still talking about “winning”.<\/p>\n

Defense Minister Grant Shapps, for example, had\u00a0this to say<\/a>\u00a0about new aid: “This record package of military aid will give President Zelensky and his brave nation more of the kit they need\u00a0to kick Putin out and restore peace and stability in Europe<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

“The UK was the first to provide NLAW missiles, the first to give modern tanks, and the first to send long-range missiles,” he added. “Now, we are going even further. We will never let the world forget the existential battle Ukraine is fighting, and with our enduring support,\u00a0they will win<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Britain’s military leadership is also echoing this optimism, with UK defense chief, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, telling\u00a0Financial Times<\/em>\u00a0that the West’s new infusion of military aid will help Ukraine increase its long-range strikes on\u00a0Russian territory<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Ukraine is\u00a0set to increase long-range attacks inside Russia\u00a0<\/strong>as an influx of western military aid aims to help Kyiv shape the war \u201cin much stronger ways\u201d, the head of the UK military has said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
