The United States says it is determined to support Ukraine
till it achieves victory against Russia.
Speaking at a news conference in Washington on Tuesday,
Anthony Blinken, US secretary of state said the support America has provided
has evolved to match Russia’s aggression.
“As this aggression has evolved, so too has our assistance
to Ukraine, making sure that it has what it needs to meet the aggression
head-on,” Blinken said.
“We have continuously provided what Ukraine needs and we are
doing it in a way that makes sure we are responsive to what is actually
happening on the battlefield as well as projecting where it might go.
“We are determined to
make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to succeed on the battlefield.”
He added that the US would be making further announcements
in the coming days regarding the commitment.
On his part, James Cleverly, British foreign secretary, said
the UK would provide military equipment including army challenger 2, main
battle tanks, and 14 challenger 2s.
He urged the US to go “further and faster” in their support
for Ukraine, pointing out that it was the biggest single supplier of assistance
– both military and economic – to the European country.
He added that the UK would continue to work “hand in glove”
– along with other allies – to ensure Ukraine had the support it needed.
Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky praised the
secretaries for their efforts while asking them not to relent in their assistance.
“Never in living memory has Russia been more isolated and
the Atlantic alliance more united,” he said.
“If Putin believed
that the world would succumb to Ukraine fatigue and lose the will to resist his
ambitions then that was once again another colossal misjudgment on his part.”
