London, Thanasis Gavos
The belief that the Ukrainian soldiers they will win the Russian invaders and the country will remain free, he said Boris Johnson in his speech via video link in the Ukrainian Parliament.
As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom added, the war in Ukraine is one battle “of good against evil”.
According to Mr. Johnson, Ukraine has completely refuted military analysts, as “the so-called irresistible power of its war machine Putin has been dissolved on the unwavering opposition of Ukrainian patriotism. “
“Ukraine will win, Ukraine will be free”the British Prime Minister told the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada, adding that the Ukrainian soldiers have fought “with the energy and courage of lions”.
He accused the Russian forces of committing war crimes in a conflict “without moral ambiguities or gray areas”. As he stressed, this is a struggle “of freedom against oppression”, “of right against wrong” and “of good against evil”.
In a message referring to Winston Churchill’s historic speech to the House of Commons in June 1940 about the “finest hour” of the British (encouraging their countrymen to continue to oppose Nazi Germany despite the capitulation of France), Mr. Johnson talked about the “best time” of the Ukrainians.
In particular, he said: “This is the best time for Ukraine to be remembered and narrated by future generations. “Your children and grandchildren will say that the Ukrainians have taught the world that the brutal violence of an aggressor does not matter at all against the moral strength of a people determined to be free.”
He was also self-critical, saying the West was slow to figure out what would follow the occupation of Crimea in 2014.
Boris Johnson also announced one new 300 300 million military aid package to Ukraine.
This includes more than a dozen military-adapted Toyota Landcruiser vehicles for the protection of civilian officials in eastern Ukraine and the evacuation of civilians from areas on the front line. The shipment of these vehicles satisfies an explicit request of the Ukrainian government.
The new package will also include drones for transporting supplies to isolated Ukrainian units (capable of carrying a weight of 50 kg over a distance of 60 km), electronic warfare equipment, anti-artillery radar systems, interceptor equipment in geolocation systems, mainly to prevent the operation of Russian drones and thousands of night-vision binoculars.
Mr Johnson said in a statement that London had already committed to sending Stormer-type anti-aircraft missiles and Brimstone anti-ship missiles.
