The UK is already sending “hundreds” of Brimstone anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to bolster its naval defenses in the Black Sea, and the equipment should arrive in the country “in the coming weeks”, Armed Forces undersecretary James Heappey told “The Times” this Thursday (28).
Fears are growing that Russia will launch a large-scale attack on the southern port of Odessa and one of the country’s main ports. The high military representative’s speech reinforces the speech of Defense Secretary Ben Wallace to Parliament two days ago.
The Minister stressed that on this occasion, in addition to missiles, some anti-ship armored tank units will be sent to carry out actions from the ground.
In an interview with Sky News on Thursday, Wallace said Britain’s aims in the war remained unchanged and that “Russia must abandon the entire sovereign territory of Ukraine – and that includes, obviously, Crimea”, the unilateral annexation of the peninsula by Moscow in 2014. said it was done.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a “victory parade” on May 9, Wallace stressed that the president “must admit that he is at war if he wants to mobilize the Russian people”.
To date, the Russian government says it is conducting a “special military operation” in Ukraine and has never admitted that there was a war since February 24.
