Shapps’s direct speech: “Europe must step up and do its part to make sure Ukraine can continue to defend itself.
The UK, again as in other things, is leading with a £2.5 billion package and a security agreement, a cooperation agreement with President Zelensky and Ukraine.
Now … not only America, but also Europe must step up and do its part to make sure that Ukraine can continue to defend itself.”
Details: Shapps, in his post on Network X, also noted that the UK has increased its support for Ukraine to a record level while countering the Houthis: “In less than 24 hours, the United Kingdom has taken action against the Houthis and increased its support for Ukraine to a record level. In doing so, we have dashed the hopes of such tyrants , like Putin, who naively believed that we could be distracted by multiple crises. The UK can and will act where we need it.”
