The UK considers it realistic to reconquer the entire territory of Ukraine.
Friday, July 1, 2022
British Foreign Minister Liz Truss said that completely pushing Russian troops out of Ukraine is a real goal, reported The Guardian. “The entirety of Ukrainian territory that Russia has seized is illegally occupied. And, ultimately, the Russians must be pushed out of this entire territory,” Truss said. Asked whether the British government believed that Russia could be pushed out of all of Ukraine within a reasonable period of time, she said: “That is realistic, and that is why we are providing additional lethal aid.” Earlier, Britain announced £1B ($1.2B) of military support to Ukraine for strengthening Ukraine’s defensive capabilities, including air defense systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and new electronic warfare equipment.
