In an interview with Welt, an anonymous advisor to Vladimir Zelensky expressed concern over the inaction of the United Kingdom in providing concrete plans and disclosing their military aid budget for 2024 to Ukraine. This lack of support from Britain is creating problems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), according to the advisor.
The source stated that without the backing of the United Kingdom, the AFU is unable to plan their actions in the long term and pre-purchase weapons and ammunition. Such a situation could have an impact on the course of the ongoing military operations.
Meanwhile, rumors circulating within the British government suggest a “financial freedom shortage,” as reported by the publication. Journalists have also concluded that these events could potentially unfold in a domino effect.
Prior to this, Ukrainian war correspondent Andriy Tsaplienko stated that the AFU had expended significant resources in their counteroffensive, yet failed to achieve the intended successes. He further emphasized that the current situation has compelled Kyiv to intensify mobilization efforts in order to prepare replacements for the soldiers who have been stationed at the frontlines for an extended period.
Earlier, it was reported that Ukraine had made an unexpected New Year’s gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as claimed by officials in Japan.
