Ukraine-Krieg: „Koalition der Willigen“ will Druck auf Russland erhöhen

London, Berlin, and Paris witnessed Western backers of Ukraine remaining unmoved by Russia's ongoing threats. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, along with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, shared a message after a video clip of the "Coalition of the Willing" served as co-hosts. The Ukraine had the "inherent right" to defend itself against the Russian aggression war, stated the joint statement.

"Unaccountable threats from Russia" would not deter the support of European countries for Ukraine. They were determined to "increase military assistance to Ukraine, prioritize strengthening Ukraine's anti-aircraft defenses, enhance cooperation with its defense industry, and share relevant technologies," the statement continued. The UK government approved Zelenskyy's request for the construction of long-range missiles equipped with British "Storm Shadow" technology.

Moscow reacted harshly to the announcement, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accusing London of "methodically and regularly throwing oil onto the flames of the war" with the Scalp plans.
