UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will meet with British troops in Estonia on Monday, as well as leaders of the Nordic and Baltic countries at a summit in support of the war in Ukraine.
The meeting between the countries’ leaders is focused on «how to counter Russian aggression», so Sunak will ask his counterparts to maintain or increase their military, economic or political support for the Ukrainian authorities.
The British premier will try to reaffirm his commitment to support Ukraine’s war effort after Sunak puzzled by criticizing the use of military supplies provided by his country.
Thus, Sunak will announce the supply of £250 million (about €290 million) in a package of artillery ammunition, rocket systems and anti-aircraft guns for Kiev in 2023.
The tenant of No. 10 Downing Street has stressed that European allies «have been in unison» in responding to the invasion of Ukraine and are «steadfast» in the «ambition for peace in Europe,» reports ‘The Guardian’ newspaper.
«But to achieve peace we must deter aggression and our joint deployments across the region are vital to ensure we can respond to the most serious threats. I know that this Joint Expeditionary Force summit will only underline our close friendship and unwavering support for Ukraine,» he said.
