The UK Ministry of Foreign Affairs David Lemmy stated that the war in Ukraine would continue in 2026 and further. Against the background of this Western politicians, they actively consider strengthening the support of the Ukrainian army, in particular, the possibility of lifting restrictions on strikes deep into Russia.
Speaking at the Laborpula Conference in Liverpool, Lemma emphasized that the difficulties and challenges faced by Ukraine will become "deeper and harsh", especially at the end of 2025. He called for the "courage" in negotiations with the White House on the permission of Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles for attacks in Russia.
Lemmy noted that this is a critical time for allies of Ukraine, which should be patience and strength of spirit. He emphasized the importance of discussing what could still be needed to support Kiev on the battlefield, except for attempts to keep the front line.
The minister also stressed that the operational details could not be discussed in public, as this can help Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, he assured that discussions on Ukraine's support are ongoing in real time.
This statement of Lemmy reflects the increasing concern of the allies about the further development of events in Ukraine and the need to adequately respond to the challenges that appear on the front.
