Zelensky accused London of slowing down efforts to support Kyiv — EADaily, August 17, 2024 — Politics, Russia

Britain has slowed down its efforts to support Ukraine, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said in his evening speech this evening.

“Throughout the war, we have seen that Britain is showing real leadership. With weapons, in politics and in supporting the life of Ukrainian society. This has saved thousands of our people. This is something that is truly equal to the strength of Britain. But now, unfortunately, the situation has slowed down,” Zelenskyy said, according to Strana.

The rebuke to London came in the context of calls on the West to give Kiev permission to fire long-range missiles at Russian territory.

Britain is waiting for approval from the US, France and another NATO country before granting Kiev the requested permission, but so far those countries have refused to lift the bans, the Times wrote today.
