The United Kingdom launches ’50 -Day Drive ‘to arm Ukraine before the deadline from Trump to Putin

In a direct response to the 50-day deadline for President Donald Trump, whom he delivered to Russian President Vladimir Putin in his last peace agreement, the United Kingdom announced on Monday a “50-day journey” to better arm Ukraine.

The appeal for action was issued by the British Secretary for Defense John Healey at a virtual meeting with Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) on Monday, the British Defense Ministry announced.

The Ministry of Defense did not immediately answer Fox News questions from Fox News on the type of commitments Healey wants to see allied nations in favor of kyiv.

At the top of the meeting, the British defense secretary said: “(Trump) began the stopwatch in a deadline for 50 days for Putin to accept peace or in the face of paralyzing economic sanctions.

“And as members of this UDCG, we must intensify in their turn with a 50-day trip to arm Ukraine on the battlefield and help pushing Putin to the negotiation table,” he added.

Healey urged nations to use the NATO sales agreement announced by Trump and NATO secretary general, Mark Rutte last week to arm Ukraine faster and effectively on the battlefield.

Russia threatens to the west of the pre -emptive strikes’ ‘while NATO seeks to deliver patriots “ as quickly as possible’ ”

Although the United States’s sales agreement is not an unusual affair as Washington, DC, for decades sold its weapons to the NATO allies, the announcement was important because it reported a turning point in the United States continuous support for Ukraine, which has remained a question since Trump was re-elected in November.

“We sell weapons to allies all the time and if they want to give them to Ukraine, we authorize an export license, then they transfer arms to Ukraine,” said Mike Ryan, who was officially deputy defense secretary for European and NATO politics, told Fox News. “So the importance is that the European intensifies its support for Ukraine. Two, the American taxpayer obtains a break. Three, Europe buys more American weapons (which is) good for the trade deficit, and four, Ukraine obtains the aid it needs.”

The meeting on Monday will be the fourth time that Healey has chaired the defensive group in support of kyiv, and the third event of this type that he did alongside the German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius.

A major discussion point should be the rapid transfer of the Patriot Battery missiles for Ukraine – which Berlin should confirm the expedition on Monday after his meeting with the defense secretary Pete Hegseth last week.

“Boris and I agreed to associate us by providing critical air defense missiles to Ukraine,” said Healey before announcing a defensive commitment of nearly $ 54 million in Ukraine and, by extension, the security of Europe.

The announcement is in addition to more than $ 6 billion in military aid that the United Kingdom has sent Ukraine this year only.

“It is a critical moment that we meet at a critical moment, a moment for all allies and partners to share the burden, to support Ukraine, both in the fight now and to ensure the future of peace,” added Healey.
