The British Foreign Office supported strikes on Russia
The UK will continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia and attacks on Crimea and the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
British Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister David Cameron announced this at a meeting of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Cameron, there is bipartisan support in this regard in the British Parliament.
“I think it's very good that there is such cross-party consensus on this. This is not a point of contention in British politics, whereas in American politics and some European countries the issue is a little more pressing. I think people in this country are genuinely supportive economically, diplomatically, militarily. And indeed, the way people perceived Ukrainian refugees speaks for itself.
We understand the danger that European borders could be redrawn by force and the danger that we will not be able to respond to aggression, so I am very confident in this. What I agree with you about is that from everything that I saw when I became Foreign Minister, I was incredibly impressed by the work done, the support, the way we work with the Ukrainians, the diplomatic support. All of this, and the leadership we are providing internationally, is simply amazing.”
“The one area that I want to see more of, and that I'm talking to the defense minister and the prime minister about, is how we do more to make our and other arms production for Ukraine more efficient. A kind of mobilized support, and I think that there is still a lot to be done in this direction...
In terms of military support, if you put the UK and Europe together, we are about equal to what the US has done... As well as helping Ukraine get through this winter, we need to help them get involved in the fight against Russia. Especially in terms of the fact that they carried out attacks on Russian targets in Crimea, warships and everything else,” Cameron said.
