UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will declare on Wednesday that Britain and other Western powers ought to give warplanes to Ukraine as a component of their drawn-out military help.

Ukraine has over and again requested battle airplanes, especially Soviet-period contenders with which their pilots are recognizable. Western partners have been hesitant to go that far because of a paranoid fear of inciting Russia.

Be that as it may, as Nato individuals move forward their help for Ukraine with longer reach weapons, Truss will say they ought to go significantly further.

The fate of Ukraine, she’ll say, “remains in the balance”. Western powers should be ready to support Ukraine “for the long haul”, digging deep in their inventories to give the country heavy weapons, tanks and, yes, airplanes.

She’ll also urge the West to cut off Russian oil and gas imports “once and for all”. In the speech, Truss will call for a “reboot” of the international security system that she says failed Ukraine.
