UK Foreign Secretary pledges full support for Ukraine amid rising tensions with Russia
The UK Foreign Secretary has pledged ongoing support for Ukraine amid escalating tensions with Russia. This follows Russian President Vladimir Putin's threat to target the UK after using a new ballistic missile against Ukraine, claiming it was in response to Western military aid. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the missile strike on Dnipro as a significant escalation in the conflict. He urged global leaders to respond firmly to prevent further Russian aggression, warning that a lack of action could lead to more attacks beyond Ukraine. The UK and France reaffirmed their commitment to assist Ukraine in achieving a lasting peace. They emphasized the need to counter Putin's aggression, which they view as a challenge to international order established after World War II.
