(Finance) – The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson formalized the UK’s intention to send more to Ukraine supplies of “artillery” and heavy armament, as requested by Kiev, in response to what has returned to be labeled as “the barbarism of Vladimir Putin” and of the forces of Moscow. The announcement came in his speech in the House of Commons and after today’s new virtual summit on the Ukrainian dossier with Joe Biden and other Western leaders, including Mario Draghi.
Johnson called each “legitimate and morally right” Help military intended to allow Ukrainian troops to “protect themselves” and protect the country, while highlighting the “relentless commitment of the Great Britain“alongside Kiev which he himself promised” to the president Volodymyr Zelensky“on his recent visit to Ukraine. The British premier also once again exalted the military resistance opposed by Ukraine to” Putin’s arrogance “who, according to him, thought he could conquer the country” in a few days “.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterresproposed one humanitarian truce of four days for the Easter orthodox, which will be celebrated by Ukrainians and Russians next Sunday. The UN secretary general noted that “this year Orthodox Holy Week is observed under the cloud of a war that represents the total denial of the Easter message. Instead of celebrating a new life, this Easter coincides with a Russian offensive in the east of Ukraine “. Guterres also stressed that the humanitarian pause would provide the conditions necessary to meet two crucial imperatives: “the safe passage of all civilians willing to leave the areas of current and expected confrontation, in coordination with the International Committee of the Cross Redand also the safe delivery of help humanitarians life-saving to people in the most affected areas such as Mariupol, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk “.
