The UK is considering participating in US President Donald Trump's weapons initiative for Ukraine, APA reports citing Bloomberg.
According to it, Defense Secretary of the United Kingdom John Healey and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius intend to discuss this on July 21 during a virtual meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in the Ramstein format. Healy said on July 17 that it will be held under the leadership of Great Britain and Germany and that Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and head of the United NATO Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General of the US Air Force Alexus Grynkewich will all participate.
"The UK’s contribution could see it jointly purchasing Patriot air-defense systems with Germany, or separately buying other weapons and munitions from the US for Ukraine, with both options under consideration, according to people familiar with the plans," Bloomberg said.
The agency said that although negotiations between London, Berlin and Washington on this issue are "at an early stage, British ministers have decided they want to join Germany in participating in [US President Donald] Trump’s proposal."
