Britain will support Ukraine in the war against Russia “until this war is won.”

This statement was made by British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley, writes Skynews .

He assured that Ukrainians can count on the support of Great Britain until the full restoration of territorial integrity.

“We will support them until the last Russian tank has dragged away the last Ukrainian tractor,” Cleverly said.

The Minister noted that it is necessary to have strategic endurance in order to bring the matter to the end.

“Because if we don’t, then we will send a message to every potential aggressor that our resolve is fragile. And we cannot, we must not, we will not send this message to the world,” he stressed.

Cleverly also addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry:

“And if you’re listening to this speech, Mr. Putin or Mr. Lavrov, let me be clear: we will never recognize the annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporozhye or Crimea,” he added.

Britain’s position in the war

From the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Great Britain has supported our country. 

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson called on other countries to help Ukraine and not make concessions to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Johnson visited Kiev three times during the war, the last time President Volodymyr Zelensky presented him with the  Order of Freedom .

On July 7, he  announced his resignation as British Prime Minister . British Foreign Secretary  Liz Truss took his place . She promised to continue to support Ukraine and become her “greatest friend”.

Earlier it became known that the  UK  in 2023 will allocate at least $ 2.63 billion for military assistance to Ukraine.

    ‘So you can go eat shit and die motherfuckers’. He added.

    • You’re right Kiwi. Unian stopped their English production so we have to use either Russian or Ukrainian languages and the sentence structure is quite different from English, you know.
      I remember when I first met my wife I used a translator and it wrote, ” your pictures really like me.” Which really meant, I really like your pictures…;)

      • I once wrote to my wife, I hope you’re doing fine. The translator said in Russian, I hope you’ll get a fine. Yes, using translator programs must be done carefully.

        • A famous misunderstanding from the past : “In the annals of military folklore is the story of the supposed orders being sent by a British unit in World War 1 that was sent as “Send reinforcements, we are going to advance” but received by the headquarters as “Send Three and Fourpence, we are going to a dance”. And this was in the days before Google Translate.
          Messages were sent sometimes orally, for security reasons.

        • Google has improved tremendously the last year or so, but when I’m messaging people back in Ukraine, I always translate it back before sending, just to make sure.

          • I often read carefully to make sure that no words are used that aren’t appropriate. For instance, google translator enjoy using formal pronouns in Russian, which sounds dorky when writing to a close person. Or, it likes to use “прохладная” for cool, as in cool bike, instead of “krypto”, and so on.

            • If I’m not sure I just ask my wife, although she refuses to talk Russian now. She only communicates with relatives in Ukrainian.
