The UK was ready to enter the war against Russia, but the US held them back, the former deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lana Zerkal, told Natalya Moseychuk, host of the 1+1 talk show Right to Power, in an interview. She stated that members of the House of Lords in the British Parliament were willing to fight against Russia, but they cannot do so because the United States opposes it.
“During the summer of 2022, I was in parliament in London, and the lords openly said: ‘If not for Biden’s policy, we would already be openly part of this military operation. And they (Americans) are holding us back. They have an internal request recognizing that this war is deliberate,'” Zerkal recounted.
She noted that the significance of the conflict in Ukraine is well understood in the UK.
“When we report that we’ve acquired 101 armored personnel carriers in Britain, it always sparks interest among British journalists. Brits really like it when something British is fighting somewhere and helping to win,” said Ukrainian volunteer activist Serhiy Pritula.
He added that Britons actively donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, especially when local media report that Ukrainians have bought British equipment.
British journalist Dominic Lawson in an article for The Sunday Times, published January 14, reported that the Biden administration may be uninterested in a complete and decisive victory of Ukraine over Russia.
It was previously reported that US President Joe Biden met with congress members on January 17 to discuss financial aid to Ukraine. However, the meeting at the White House did little to break the stalemate regarding assistance to Ukraine.

WTF?!
“During the summer of 2022, I was in parliament in London, and the lords openly said: ‘If not for Biden’s policy, we would already be openly part of this military operation. And they (Americans) are holding us back. They have an internal request recognizing that this war is deliberate,’” Zerkal recounted.
Sounds just like the White House decision in March of 2014. Spineless and un-American. How many thousands of Ukrainians could have been saved if Biden thought freedom was worth fighting for?
Well, I don’t doubt that some hardliners in the House of Lords may have voiced such support, but that’s not the power center in UK’s parliamentary system. And not even notoriously grandstanding Boris Johnson went out on that limb. So, Zerkov really shouldn’t make it look like an active participation of British forces in the war had been a realistic possibility. The British public may react negatively on such fairy tales.
Oops, her name is Zerkal. Sorry.
Perhaps you’re right, Mr. Gray. But, if the lords did contemplate such a step, then it seems the Biden administration pissed on their heads and suffocated the sparks before the flames could errupt. Nothing surprises me anymore with Biden.
In all my life, I’ve never been so ashamed of my country. Oh, wait, sure, in 2014 as Obumer sent broken Humvees and blankets as his special gesture to help Ukraine back then. Oh, wait, one other time; when we fled Afghanistan like rats jumping ship.
We’re not heading in the right direction. Reagan, McCain, Kennedy, Eisenhower, the two Roosevelts, Washington, Lincoln … they’re all puking with utter disgust at our government.
