(London) British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called on his G7 allies, who are due to meet by videoconference on Friday on the first anniversary of the Russian invasion, to provide artillery more quickly to the Ukrainian army and to bring him longer range weapons.
“For Ukraine to win this war – and for that day to come faster – it must obtain a decisive advantage on the battlefield”, must declare during this meeting the conservative leader, according to his services.
“Instead of taking a step-by-step approach, our priority must be to move faster on artillery, armor and air defence,” he added.
Rishi Sunak, who will observe a minute of silence in Downing Street with Ukrainian soldiers, wants to plead with the leaders of the G7 in favor of deliveries of “longer-range weapons”.
According to Downing Street, after announcing the training of Ukrainian fighter pilots, he wants to “reiterate his offer of British support to countries capable of supplying planes to Ukraine to help it immediately in this conflict”.
The first country to promise heavy tanks to Kyiv, the UK has opened up the possibility of delivering NATO-standard planes to it, but said pilot training would take up to three years.
The Ukrainian army has Soviet-designed aircraft.
