The UK, the biggest supporter of Ukraine after the US is reconsidering its support for Ukraine. The same country which has given unwavering support to Ukraine till today is backing off from Ukraine. And, this step is being taken by Rishi Sunak. Let’s find out the crux of the move.
According to BBC Newsnight, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has requested a data-driven assessment of the war’s development in Ukraine.
Critics say that it makes little sense why is UK sending its military weapons to Ukraine when the war directly doesn’t concern it. According to information provided to BBC Newsnight, Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is aware of the debate taking place in the UK and is urging Mr. Sunak to continue providing his nation with a robust military presence.

Supposition by TFIGlobal(?) vs reality: UK to Announce Major New Artillery Package for Ukraine December 19, 2022
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will on Monday announce a major new artillery package for Ukraine during a meeting of Nordic, Baltic, and Dutch counterparts in Riga.
Sunak will arrive in Latvia on Monday for the meeting to discuss ongoing efforts to counter Russian aggression in the Nordic and Baltic region with fellow members of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF).
Sunak will call on the leaders to maintain or exceed 2022 levels of support for Ukraine in 2023, a statement issued by the prime minister’s office said.
He will also announce that the UK will supply “hundreds of thousands of rounds of artillery ammunition next year under a £250 million ($304 million) contract that will ensure a constant flow of critical artillery ammunition to Ukraine throughout 2023”, the statement said.

Winter is changing minds. The sanctions have backfired. Domestic pressure over high energy prices and rampant inflation have introduced realism when it comes to climate change and Ukraine.
—> It’s over.
Sadly, I suspect it is just getting ready to begin at new levels, including false flag event/s
And on Russia’s side, the hard liners will likely take out Putin. What follows will be worse.
Right, that's why Sunak urges allies on Baltic trip to stand firm in support for Ukraine
Rishi Sunak told fellow leaders there can be no peace talks with Russia until it has withdrawn from conquered regions of Ukraine, as he urged them to ramp up their supply of air defence systems to the war-torn nation.

The Defense bill (NDAA) authorizes $50 billion for Ukraine.
Senate passes National Defense Authorization Act, bill heads to President Biden
Both chambers of Congress have passed the bill, and it will now head to President Biden’s desk.
The bill passed by a vote of 83-11, with 60 votes needed for approval.
Among others, the bill would repeal the COVID-19 vaccine for military members, but doesn’t reinstate members of the military who were discharged or had their benefits cut for refusing to get the vaccine.
A provision in the defense spending bill would also allow Ukraine to delay payments on the hundreds of billions of dollar that has been borrowed from the United States and other countries. In addition to the delay of payments, the bill also increases funding to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative by $50 billion.
The bill also includes funding to support a 2.7 percent pay raise for members of the military and civilians working in the Department of Defense.
In addition to the delay of payments, the bill also increases funding to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative by $800 billion.

The UK contributions to the proxy war are minuscule compared to Uncle Sucker’s funding. We pay for not only for most of the weapons and ammo, but also, for the salaries and pensions of the government. Where do you think the money comes from to pay the salaries of the mobilized military?
We have to borrow the money to send to Ukraine. Our debt servicing costs will approach a trillion dollars a year within the next five years.
The Putin supporters are like shipwreck survivors these days.
Clinging to any piece of wreckage in a desperate hope to stay afloat.
Question:
What country is Kherson in?
Money, money, money.
Worry about money is trivial nothingness when a change in history is in process
Comrade Jon Preston, Russia’s “Tokyo Rose” for a new century
at least the real Tokyo Rose wasn’t boring like you are
I agree the devil we know…., so, and this is a serious question for you. What should have been the western response to the Russian invasion?
Where were you in 2014 when Putin invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea? This war has been going on for 8 years. We have no treaty obligations to defend Ukraine. We can't afford these endless wars. So you have confidence in the Biden national security team? Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland, Austin, and Milley? They are dismantling the US military with their woke policies. Recruitment and retention are suffering. Spending tens of billions on proxy wars weakens us.
UK and US weapons flowing…Keep those homes,schools and hospitals in Donbass glowing,
The Rising National Debt Drives Up Long-Term Interest Rates
As interest rates rise, so too will the borrowing costs of the government. According to CBO, the government’s net interest costs will total $66 trillion over the next 30 years, accounting for nearly 40 percent of all revenues by 2052. AEI warns that those costs could be even larger — CBO’s projections incorporate a smaller estimate of the impact of rising debt on long-term interest rates than AEI estimates. Assuming a continued increase in interest rates to 6 percent by 2052, AEI estimates that the debt-to-GDP ratio could equal 235 percent by 2052, compared to CBO’s estimate of 185 percent.
