UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron has recorded a video in the centre of Kyiv in which he outlined two visions of the future: proper support for Ukraine or insufficient support.

Details: Cameron stressed that the UK is not just one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters diplomatically, economically and militarily – it’s also one of the fastest.

"It’s important because Ukraine needs help now. They’ve done brilliantly on the Black Sea, sinking so much of Putin’s Black Sea Fleet. 

But there are many challenges on land and they need to meet those challenges," Cameron said.

Similarly, he said that it is important to act fast because this gives the UK leverage to put pressure on other countries to act quickly and provide funds.

"Well, it matters crucially for this country… But it also matters for us. Ukrainian security is about European security, and it’s about British security," he noted. 

Cameron said that two different visions of the future are now emerging.

"One is that we push back Putin, there’s a just peace, and this country recovers its sovereignty. And NATO will be stronger, Europe will be stronger, Britain will be stronger. 

But there is an alternative scenario where we don’t back Ukraine sufficiently, where Putin scores a win here in Ukraine, and we’ll be living in a far more unsafe and uncertain and dangerous world," he said.  

Cameron said that the investments being made today in Ukraine's security are the best possible investments in his country’s own security.

Background:
