Foreign secretary David Cameron meets Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv’s presidential office on Friday “Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it’s defending itself, it’s getting the Russians out of its country and it has the ability to strike back,” he said. In its latest tranche of weapons for the Volodymyr Zelenskyy regime, Britain has included precision-guided bombs, missiles and equipment for 100 mobile air defence teams to “enable Ukraine to shoot down Russia’s drones and missiles”. David Cameron speaks to reporters near the British embassy in Kyiv “Through our multi-year military funding, weapons provision and vital support to protect and repair Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the UK is standing with Ukraine and we will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” he said.
