British Defence Secretary John Healy has called for an urgent 50-day campaign to arm Ukraine, as the conflict in Eastern Europe continues to escalate. This proposal was made during a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine Defence, which was held in the Ramstein format, a format commonly used for coordinating defense efforts among NATO and allied nations. The meeting highlighted the growing need for a coordinated international response to support Ukraine’s defense capabilities against Russian aggression.
Healy, who is a senior member of the UK government, emphasized the importance of swift action in the face of increasing military pressure on Ukrainian forces. The proposed campaign includes the deployment of advanced weaponry, defensive technology, and logistical support to ensure Ukraine has the necessary resources to sustain its defense operations. According to Healy, this initiative is crucial not only for the security of Ukraine but also for maintaining global stability in the region.
International partners have been urged to contribute to the 50-day campaign by providing both military and financial assistance. The UK has pledged to play a leading role in coordinating this effort, with the aim of ensuring that Ukraine is adequately armed to resist further Russian advances. While the specifics of the campaign remain under discussion, the meeting underscored the commitment of the international community to supporting Ukraine’s defense efforts and upholding its sovereignty.
