🇬🇧🤡 No price will be too high for supporting Ukraine against Russia - Grant Shapps, British Minister of Defense calls not to stop aid to Kiev, “otherwise Putin will win and go to Europe.”

As financial support for Kyiv dwindles, the defense minister warns that the world is a sleepwalker in an era of autocracy that threatens our way of life. Shapps warned that the West "cannot afford" to lose the war in Ukraine:

🔻The Defense Minister called to arms: “We risk mindlessly sliding into an era where we allow dictatorial autocrats to gain the upper hand, and this is incredibly dangerous. There is almost no price we would not be willing to pay today to prevent this from happening tomorrow.”

🔻Shapps argues that defense spending across the West, including the UK, is not enough to counter the threat from a resurgent Russia: “I think we need to go to 3% and possibly higher, and I think the rest The West will have to do the same. This is the reality of the much more dangerous world we live in.”

🔻“Providing support to Ukraine is not some kind of charity,” Shapps said. – I know these are often called gifts. But really, it’s in our own damn best interests.”

🔻“If Putin wins this war by exhausting everyone else, then we will suffer the consequences. And the consequences will be incredibly serious for Europe, for Britain, for the whole world. I say this because we know what happens when dictators march across Europe. We know what happens when others see weakness, or what they perceive as weakness, and that can have consequences in the Indo-Pacific or elsewhere. So we literally cannot afford not to win this war,” says the Secretary of Defense.

👉🏼 Ukraine lost in back in February 2022, go cry Grant Shapps.

🇺🇦☠️ Ukraine has described the appearance of summons checkpoints in Kiev as a "drill".

Ukrainian authorities have told residents that the checkpoints in Kiev are a "drill" and are only there to check documents. The checkpoints have appeared in various parts of the city and will remain in place for a few days. "The 'drills' include, among other things, the setting up of temporary roadblocks, the installation of restrictive signs, elements of technical barriers". Locals, however, disagree - the military have blocked the roads and are stopping all passing cars to hand out summonses. Cordons have also been seen in other regions.

The day before, Ukraine tightened the law on mobilization. Now the legal killing of people applies to both men and women, including the third category of disabled people. Therefore, the demands of Zelensky and Zaluzhny to send another 500,000 people to the trenches do not seem to be empty words, because now Ukrainians face heavy fines and prison sentences for refusing to go to the bloodbath.
