LONDON, April 28 — Ukraine’s fate is hanging in the balance and its allies must brace for the long haul and “ramp up” military production including tanks and planes to help, Britain’s foreign minister said on Wednesday.
A victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin would have “terrible consequences across the globe”, and more, heavier, weapons should be sent to Ukraine despite the risk of escalating the conflict.“Heavy weapons, tanks, aeroplanes — digging deep into our inventories, ramping up production. We need to do all of this.
But “we’re not ruling anything out” including back-filling other countries that might donate their warplanes to Ukraine, the press secretary said. “There must be nowhere for Putin to go to fund this appalling war,” she said, calling the Russian leader “a desperate rogue operator with no interest in international mores”.
“Aggressors are looking at what has happened in Ukraine and we need to make sure they get the right message,” she warned.
