The UK and Germany are spearheading a 50-day campaign to rapidly increase military aid to Ukraine, following former US President Donald Trump’s ultimatum giving Russia 50 days to end the war or face harsher consequences.
At a high-level meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, attended by representatives from 52 countries, both nations pledged new air defense systems, including 220,000 Gepard shells and additional funding for drones. The initiative aims to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses and pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin into negotiations. The UK has allocated £700 million for artillery, anti-aircraft, and long-range missiles, and is considering joining a US-led weapons procurement plan.
This coordinated effort marks a critical moment as Western allies seek to unify their strategy and maximize support for Ukraine.
