Always strong support of the UK is now impenetrable and ready for challenges. In a conversation with the Prime Minister, @RishiSunak, I thanked for the decisions that will not only strengthen us on the battlefield, but also send the right signal to other partners. — Володимир Зеленський January 14, 2023 Earlier this month, France pledged to send additional armored fighting vehicles to Ukraine, while Poland unveiled plans to ship 14 German-produced Leopard tanks, if it gets permission from Berlin. Germany and the United States have also expressed their intent to join in and ship critical battlefield vehicles to Ukraine, the BBC reported.
Late last year, the U.S. approved a roughly $45 billion aid package to Ukraine. Zelensky has long pleaded with western allies to ramp up aid as his country continues to suffer Russian bombardment. On Saturday, Russia carried out airstrikes that killed at least five in a nine-story apartment complex in the city of Dnipro, according to Ukrainian officials.
