The long-range capability for our forces is the answer to all most important, most strategic questions of this war,
I remain extremely concerned and reiterate my call for maximum restraint from all sides,
We need things that can really change the course of the war and bring about a just peace, a real end to the war – the kind of conclusion we need. And we need all of our partners who can help [us] do so. This includes the United States, the United Kingdom, France and other partners,
Yes, of course it is always better – as Churchill said – to do things in concert with the Americans. But these are UK weapons, paid for by the UK taxpayer, and we should have the guts to decide how they can be used,
This lightning dash into the Kursk region reminds us of the key truth about the whole war: that from the beginning we have always underestimated the Ukrainians. We have underestimated their gift of surprise, the way they ruthlessly kept their latest plan a secret. We have underestimated their boldness – their willingness to do what people have thought impossible,
The only way to stop the glide bombs is to hit the air bases used by those Russian planes; and the only way to hit those bases is to use the Western kit they already have. The Ukrainians have the ATACMS system from the US, they have bunker-busting Storm Shadow missiles from the UK. What they do not have is the permissions they need to use those missiles against their tormentors,
We are grateful to your people, Government and Parliament for the help and leadership we have been receiving since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. The U.K. was the first to sign a security agreement with Ukraine, and now it is the first to work on a historic document on 100 years of partnership."
It is clear that the war in Ukraine has become one of industrial production. Government and industry are united in our shared commitment to Ukraine and by working together, we are setting the building blocks for our 100-year partnership."
The strength we add to Ukraine every day, in terms of quantity, quality, range. The capabilities of our dense industry are now different and significantly greater."
Washington's efforts have created all the prerequisites for Ukraine to lose its sovereignty and lose part of its territories,
The operation in the Kursk region was also planned with the participation of NATO and Western special services,
The US leadership’s claims of non-involvement in Kyiv's actions in the Kursk region do not correspond to reality... Without their participation and direct support, Kyiv would not have ventured into Russian territory.”
Considering the presence of Western military equipment, the use of Western ammunition and missiles in attacks on civilian infrastructure and irrefutable proof of foreigners’ participation in the attack on Russian territory, one could come to the conclusion that the world is on the brink of a third world war,
It complicates the policy the more they progress into Russia without defined terms,
We'll have a clearer picture in the weeks ahead,
The use of U.S. weapons in Kursk, in Ukraine or anywhere else - for us - is an act of escalation and it will have serious consequences, we are being absolutely blunt about this with our U.S. colleagues. They know our opposition,
We have been very, very clear and consistent that we really want to see Ukraine focus on defending themselves against this aggression inside of course their borders,
The Biden administration sees that they've been able to manage the escalation ladder extremely effectively since the outset of the war,
It's not unusual for them to do things without letting us know."
We don't encourage and we don't enable attacks outside of Ukraine except for in those exigent circumstances where we believe just over the border they're facing some imminent threats,
