UK reaffirms support for Ukraine as war marks 1,000 days

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy reaffirmed strong support for Ukraine as the war reaches its 1,000th day. He emphasized that international law may be at risk if Vladimir Putin is not defeated, following a recent missile attack on Ukraine. Speculation grows that the UK may allow Ukraine to use British-supplied missiles against Russian targets, similar to a recent US policy shift. The UK government is coordinating closely with the US but has not confirmed any operational changes regarding missile use. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer highlighted Ukraine's situation as a top priority at the G20 summit, marking the ongoing conflict's impact on civilians. He aims to rally allies for increased support in response to Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
