British Defense Minister Wes Streeting called on allies to increase the supply of air defense missiles to Ukraine ahead of winter.
According to Ukrinform, Streeting wrote in an article for The Sunday Times that winter in Ukraine was no longer just a season, but a weapon.
Streeting visited Ukraine last week to discuss preparations for winter amid Russian shelling. In previous years, Russia has attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the cold season.
The minister noted that although Putin is currently losing the war, “Ukrainians know what winter brings and how it can change the situation.”
He said that he was returning from Kyiv with a clear understanding of what Ukraine needed to survive that winter. He added that where the United Kingdom could provide the necessary resources, it would do so, and where it could not, his task was to mobilize allies to find such opportunities.
