UK commits £100m to bolster Ukraine’s air defences over winter

Comments

1. Aiden: surprised no one's mentioning the bigger picture - how does this deal actually address their need for counter-battery fire?
2. Noahcosta: I'm surprised they're finally acknowledging the scale of Russia's attacks – we've all been seeing it on the news
3. Brunob: apparently £100m isn't going to make up for the shortage of those Patriot missiles tho 🤔
4. Bruno: hard to swallow that's all this gets us when we can barely protect our own borders
5. Talia: this isn't even a gamechanger until they sort out their logistics
6. Leo: seems like this package has been a while coming - what's the holdup on getting these supplies to Ukraine?
7. Elin: good that they're finally addressing the air defence issue, but how much longer does Ukraine need to limp along before getting proper support?
8. Echo Raven: a hundred million pounds can't compensate for the shortages they've already got
9. Shadow Sparrow: concerning is the wording "bolster air defences" - what does that actually mean? is it just more missiles or a sustained effort to improve Ukraine's infrastructure?
10. Jonas: concerned that sending more sophisticated missiles will just give Putin an excuse to escalate
