The United States is putting the security of the West at risk by suspending aid to Ukraine, British Foreign Minister David Cameron is expected to say during his upcoming visit to Washington, PA media and DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
At a meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the US Congress, Mike Johnson, Cameron will call on his colleagues to stop blocking the aid package worth 95 billion dollars.
According to the British in. "Telegraph" Cameron will also say that the UK and the EU will continue to provide funds to Ukraine next year and is calling on the US to do the same.
Great Britain has promised 2.5 billion British pounds of aid to Kiev in repelling the Russian invasion, and the EU will provide 50 billion euros, the agencies recall.
In an article in the "Telegraph" Cameron and his French counterpart Stéphane Sejournet appealed to Ukraine's other allies to continue their funding.
The article was published on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of the Heart - a series of agreements between France and Great Britain that paved the way for improved relations between the two countries.
"We are both quite clear - Ukraine must win this war. If Ukraine loses, we all lose. The price of failure to support Ukraine will now be much higher than the price of pushing back on Putin," the joint statement said.
"But as we discussed at the Paris conference in February, we need to do even more to make sure we prevail against Russia. The world is watching and will judge us if we fail," added the statement.
Signaling the need for additional international support for Ukraine, the two added that "France and Great Britain alone cannot deal with these challenges. But together we can call on other countries to get involved in overcoming them".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned yesterday that his country will lose the war if the US does not approve the release of additional aid.
On a previous visit to Washington, Cameron compared the blocking of US aid to Ukraine to people not fighting the Nazis in Germany in the 1930s. His speech was condemned by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who supports Trump.
The British Foreign Secretary recently called on all NATO allies to increase their defense spending to 2% of GDP to prepare for the possibility of Donald Trump returning to the White House.
Trump - a sharp critic of NATO countries that do not meet their aid obligations - also expressed skepticism about the US providing aid to Ukraine.
During his visit to Washington this week, Cameron is expected to meet US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and discuss the Gaza conflict.
In recent days, Britain and the US have taken a tougher approach to Israel after 7 aid workers were killed in Israeli strikes on April 1.
Cameron warned yesterday that the UK's support for Israel is "not unconditional" in response to the Israeli strikes and previously called for a full and transparent investigation into the case.
