"Iron Lady" against Putin: What to expect Ukraine from the new Prime Minister of UK Liz TRASS
In the United Kingdom, on September 5, the winner of the Conservative Party leader (Tori) and the future prime minister was declared a 47-year-old Liz TRASS. The former Foreign Minister was replaced by Boris Johnson, who became famous for the support of Ukraine and left the post due to mass release of government officials. Before this victory, the tracks withstood the race for a chair with the excacessler of the Treasury of Risha Sunak, both candidates kept a summer election campaign.
After the fourth round of the election, Sakna was leading - he scored 118 votes and the trust - 86. In the final round of the election, Liz Tras defeated Risha Snak, gaining 21,000 votes more than her opponent. The trust was chosen with a result of 57. 4% of the vote-less than any previous Tori leader. After the victory, Liz TRASS made a speech, where she outlined the main priorities in her position - to provide a "great victory" in the Torya in 2024.
Liz TRASS has taken a rigid Anti-Putzna position at the position of the head of Forin Office, so its policy on modern Russia will not change. The condemnation of the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine has caused her popularity among the Tori, the Guardian wrote.
If Putin is not stopped, he will bring the war to the Baltic States, Poland, Moldova and the Western Balkans, all this will pose into a conflict with NATO, she stated in an interview with the Daily Mail tabloid on February 20. "Putin has publicly announced to create a great Russia. He wants to return to a situation that was before, when Russia controlled huge sections of Eastern Europe," the Trass said.
In Moscow, at a meeting with the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, on February 10, a landmark curiosity occurred during a discussion of military aggravation near the borders of the Russian Federation with Ukraine.
The trass then focused on the need for troops and asked Lavrov: "Do you recognize Russia's sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh regions?" "The United Kingdom never recognizes Russia's sovereignty over these regions," the head of the British Foreign Ministry said after a short pause. After the February full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, the trust spoke of the absurdity of peace talks with Russia to its defeat.
The West countries should try to win the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because it is the only way to peace throughout Europe, the official said. Prior to coming to the post of Prime Minister, the Trassa promised to "take up the case"-to ensure the defeat of Russia in the war and at the same time raise the UK economy. One of the points of the Election Program of the TRASS was to increase budget expenditures for military goals by 2030 from the current 2. 1% to 3% of GDP.
In terms of dollars, the United Kingdom spends about 60 billion a year on military needs - more than other NATO countries except the US. After the arrival of Liz Trasses as Prime Minister, the United Kingdom will not dramatically change the policy on Ukraine. In a foreign policy course, it will seek to complete Russian aggression in Ukraine. She will largely follow Boris Johnson's policy. "As the Prime Minister I will be the greatest friend of Ukraine, I will follow Johnson's footsteps.
I am fully devoted to Putin's defeat, not time to talk about concessions and compromises of a terrible dictator," Liz Trase added. In the last round of the debate, Liz Tras promised to call the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in the event of the election of the Conservative Party. The new Prime Minister has confirmed the desire to come to Ukraine and to assure Ukrainians in full support for the UK in the future.
In addition, the tra front promises that its country will take an active part in the post -war restoration of Ukraine. Former foreign minister will become a third woman who headed the British government, her predecessors - Margaret Thatcher and Teresa May. Her official admission to the post is scheduled for September 6 after meeting with Queen Elizabeth. The Air Force writes that in the past Liz TRASS in the 1980s she adhered to liberal-democratic views and opposed Margaret Tetcher's politics.
She now states that he is the "guardian of the Tetcheriv Flame. " As a child, she and her mother participated in nuclear disarmament marches. At that time, the protesters opposed the decision of the Thatcher Government to allow the installation of US nuclear warheads on the former RAF Greenham Common royal Air Force database west of London. The transformation from a liberal to a conservative until the end of her studies in Oxford shocked her left parents, writing journalists.
"Changing views was the best and most likely way to succeed in politics and to bring what she wants," - said a former member of the Oxford Liberal Democratic Party, and now CEO of the Analytical Center "Institute of Economic Issues" Mark Litlwood. Proponents Liz Tras in the Tory Party see in it the sustainable and decisive qualities they admired in Margaret Thatcher.
The highway itself, according to the British press, copies the media image of the Iron Lady - is photographed on a tank in Eastern Europe or puts on a blue blouse for participation in television. Critics of the trust, which are many in her own party, speak of the lack of many of the skills of Thatcher. "It cannot show intellectual importance, instead relying on cheap slogans, and trying hard to pronounce convincing speeches.
This quality can quickly float to the surface while fighting for a place on Down Street," said The Guardian. Recall that the UK has expanded the program of preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 3 to 5 weeks. The military will teach the skills of combat in the city and trenches, on vehicles and in the field.
