"Not to allow the deaf corner of the First World": In Britain, they urge the event to strengthen the Armed Forces with tanks

The British Foreign Minister James Kleverli met with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, after which he said that he should expect a new military assistance package from the States. UK Foreign Minister James Kleverli said Ukraine should win so that the situation does not turn into World War I. About it reports The New York Times. The British Minister defends his decision to hand over 14 tanks and tens of thousands of artillery shells with self -propelled artillery.

"We cannot allow it to be delayed and turn into a deadlock such as the First World War," Kleverli said. Before meeting with a colleague in the United States, the Foreign Minister asked if the Challenger 2 tanks would be enough, given that Ukraine asked hundreds of tanks. He replied that British weapons are superior to Russian, so he would have an impact. In addition, Kleverly said that they are not helping Ukraine, they do a lot of work and other countries.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed gratitude to Germany for all military assistance, but did not press on Berlin on the issue of tanks. At the same time, he urged to monitor the new help packages of Ukraine after January 19. NATO discusses an increase in military assistance to Ukraine. According to Kleverly, in the spring of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will try to have a counter -offensive to regain lost positions.

To prevent this from happening, a collective response of the event is required. Blinken, for its part, claims that the situation in eastern Ukraine will not change in the near future. We will remind, on January 18, the Stratko Coordinator at the White House National Security Council John Kirby said that by the end of the week, the United States announced a new package of military assistance to Ukraine.
