Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky has reacted after
the United Kingdom promised to supply his country with lethal weapons to help
them wage war against Russia.
The UK on Saturday, after the visit of Prime Minister Boris
Johnson to Kyiv, said it would supply Ukraine with lethal military equipment to
fight Russia.
This is, however, against Russia’s earlier warning that any
country, especially in the European Union that provides lethal weapons to
Ukraine during the ongoing war, would face the consequences of such action.
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss tweeted that the UK is
sending additional “lethal aid” to Ukraine, including “120 more armoured
vehicles; new anti-ship missile systems; and $130 million in high-grade
military equipment.”
During his Saturday night’s address posted to Facebook, the
Ukrainian President said Prime Minister Boris Johnson was one of the world
leaders who has wholeheartedly decided to help Ukraine.
“[I thank] the leadership of Great Britain, in providing our
country’s help in defence and also leadership in the sanctions policy, will
always be in history.
“Ukraine will always be grateful for this to Boris and
Britain,” Zelensky said.
This came after Johnson made a surprise visit to Zelensky in
Kyiv on Saturday to outline the UK’s plan to provide further financial and
military support.
