UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has stated that Ukraine’s allies should not back down in their support and should remain steadfast.

Details: Shapps noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot win the war he unleashed against Ukraine, but can’t find a way to exit the war either. 

According to Shapps, Putin had hoped to take Kyiv “by bluff,” but the people of Ukraine would not let this happen.

“And neither would we… We must not let up now,” he said.

The war is consuming weapons and people “at an appalling rate”, but “we must remain steadfast”, Shapps asserted.

In his speech, he called Ukraine “part of the family of European democratic nations”.
