When asked about Russia's Medvedev's remark, UK's PM Sunak suggested the possibility of conducting training in Ukraine in the future. / Photo: Reuters ArchiveBritish Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday ruled out any plan in the near term to send British soldiers to Ukraine.
Asked about Medvedev's comment, Sunak said:"What the defence secretary was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in Ukraine.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said in a speech nothing would weaken his country's fight against Russia, a day after the US Congress passed a stopgap funding bill that omitted aid to Ukraine.
Barely a week after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Washington appealing for more funds, the compromise struck in Congress late Sunday dropped new funding for Ukraine amid opposition from hardline Republicans.Biden urged Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Sunday to"stop the games" and said he"fully expects" him to secure passage of a separate bill for Ukraine funding soon.
The race comes after Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal warned last week that Russia had restarted a systemic campaign of air strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.Ukraine has said it was working with Washington to ensure new wartime aid after US lawmakers dropped additional funding for Kiev in a last-minute deal to avoid a government shutdown.
To date, Britain and its allies have avoided a formal military presence in Ukraine to reduce the risk of a direct conflict with Russia. "But that's something for the long term, not the here and now. There are no British soldiers that will be sent to fight in the current conflict."Russia was targeted by another wave of Ukrainian drones and shelling, wounding three people and forcing an airport to divert flights, officials said.
The IMF said last week its mission had begun its second review of a $15.6B multi-year loan program for the country. It said on the Telegram messaging app that drones were launched from the southern, southeastern and northern directions."At night, the enemy massively attacked our Cherkasy region with attack drones. Unfortunately, there were hits on industrial infrastructure in Uman," Cherkasy Governor Ihor Taburets said on Telegram.
Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said last month that three cargo ships were heading towards Ukrainian Black Sea ports for further food and steel exports.
