The UK, Germany, and over 50 allied nations have launched a coordinated '50-day drive' to rapidly increase military aid to Ukraine, focusing on air defense systems, artillery shells, and advanced weaponry.
This campaign comes in response to former US President Donald Trump's ultimatum giving Russia 50 days to end the war or face severe consequences, and aims to pressure President Putin into negotiations. The UK has pledged £700 million in new aid, including long-range missiles and anti-aircraft systems, while Germany and the UK will jointly supply 220,000 Gepard shells and fund drones. High-level talks, including the latest Ramstein meeting, have emphasized unity among NATO and European allies to bolster Ukraine's defenses as Russia intensifies its attacks.
The initiative marks a critical moment for Western support, seeking to leverage Trump's deadline to force a diplomatic breakthrough.
