UK’s Burnham urges allies to do ‘everything’ to support Ukraine’s skies

-

LONDON, Aug ‌24 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Andy ​Burnham urged allies on Monday to "do everything we ⁠can" and "dig into our own stocks of air defence" to protect Ukraine against ​Russian attacks at his first meeting co-chairing the ‌so-called Coalition of the Willing.

"(Russian President Vladimir) Putin is now hoping he can win ⁠through a campaign of terror ⁠using ballistic missiles against Ukrainian civilians ... This can never be the route to victory, and we need to be ‌clear in sending that message," Burnham said ⁠at the start of ‌the meeting.

"It means doing ​everything we can all do, and working with our allies as well, beyond ‌this coalition, to dig into ​our own stocks ⁠of air defence ... to protect Ukraine ‌from the missiles ⁠that are falling now."

He also said there was a need for more sanctions on ​Russian oil ‌and LNG exports to ramp up the ⁠pressure on Moscow.
