British Minister of Defense
He stressed that Ukraine's security is important for global security, and this war has never been about the fate of the Ukrainian nation alone. According to him, China, Iran and North Korea are watching for any signs of weakness, expecting the resolve of the international coalition to disappear and unity to crumble.
When aggression goes unanswered on one continent, it emboldens regimes on others. When the border of one country is redrawn by force, it undermines the security of all nations.
As a reminder, in early 2025, Ukraine and Britain signed a partnership agreement for 100 years. The historic agreement was signed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
