Wow, this is quite a military aid package coming form the UK. We should get more of these announcements from other countries, this typically happens before and after Ramstein meetings. I'll be honest, given the size of the UK and their military, I'm worried this was more of a summary of items that have been given and will be given, but if it's all new, then this is significant.
One UK scholar in this area hypothesized that Boris Johnson is doing this on his way out because he's concerned that Dominic Cummings will have influence in the next administration and will back away from support of Ukraine. Here's part of the commentary on the subject from this morning: https://twitter.com/PhillipsPOBrien/stat...2909719556.
Man I hope not, I was never a big fan for Boris Johnson, but I really appreciated his support for Ukraine, and I know Ukrainians love him. I really do worry the UK support won't be on the same level, but it is extremely popular in the UK to support Ukraine, so maybe there is hope. That being said, this is such a brobdingnagian aid package, it might've been more than the UK could've provided Ukraine for a long anyway. It's France and Germany that really need to step up, Germany in particular. Given their hand in European energy dependence on Russia, they need to do more.
