David Cameron will discuss strengthening Ukraine’s defences and finances against further Russian aggression with European partners in light of the continuing threat of the US Congress refusing to provide further financial support.

The foreign secretary is due to visit Bulgaria and Poland before meeting a host of European foreign ministers at a security conference in Munich on Friday.

The UK has not abandoned hopes Washington will agree to extra aid, and believes the Biden administration has the leeway to provide some aid regardless of Congress.

But Lord Cameron will raise how the European countries, including Poland, can increase defence production and accelerate plans to hand Ukraine the windfall profits from Russian assets seized by Europe.

    I am not aligned to Cameron’s politics, but support the Ukrainian effort on principle. Unfortunately, the same principles don’t seem to apply to the significantly greater atrocities in Palestine.

      I really hope I’m wrong but it seems that the only thing that has engaged you on Lemmy regarding the Russian aggression (rape, torture, mass execution of civilians etc) on Ukraine is that Cameron doesn’t act the same way Israel/Palestine as he does with Russia/Ukraine?

      If that’s the case you’re what the Russians call “an useful idiot”.
