Since the start of the war, Ukraine’s Western partners have set one condition for maintaining military aid to kyiv: not to strike Russia. But countries including Finland and Latvia have since said they support Ukraine’s right to use weapons it supplied to defend itself, including strikes in Russia.
Cameron, a former British prime minister who returned to frontline politics late last year, was speaking on his second trip to kyiv since taking office.
It comes a week after the UK announced its largest ever military aid package to Ukraine. In a further show of support, Cameron pledged £3bn of annual military aid to Ukraine “for as long as it takes”.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Cameron for his support during his meeting with the British diplomat.
But he stressed the importance of getting weapons from the new aid program to Ukraine as quickly as possible. “First of all, armored vehicles, ammunition and missiles of different types,” Zelensky said.
