compared with the other european leaders? ~ ~ ,, ., , leaders? well, i think the us has been by far— leaders? well, i think the us has been by far the _ leaders? well, i think the us has been by far the main _ leaders? well, i think the us has been by far the main ally - leaders? well, i think the us has been by far the main ally of i leaders? well, i think the us has been by far the main ally of the l been by far the main ally of the military support has been provided to ukraine in this war, but remember the next year as an election year in america, so perhaps there are some concerns here that the focus is going to shift in 202a to domestic issues in america and perhaps a person could be elected with a very different agenda when it comes to you or here in ukraine. president biden has promised to keep supporting the ukrainians for as long as it takes, but you do have donald trump, who could be the republican candidate, and he has been a vocal critic of president biden's policy, and the level of support that america has been providing to you the ukrainians, and i think perhaps one of the goals of this european visit, and one of the goals of european countries is perhaps take a more leading position
continuing that support for ukraine, so this is something that vladimir putin is actually playing on, he wants to drag this out into a frozen space, and trump would then turn around and say he is pulling his troops in his interests and his support out. but that has geopolitical consequences for security in europe. so it's in our interest as well as eastern europe's to make sure president zelensky is successful, russia is forced out of ukraine mainland and it has the necessary security so it can start to rebuild its own economy, knowing russia is not going to have a pause, regroup and do this all again as it has any steady drumbeat from georgia, the crimea, the donbas, this is what russia does and there is —— unless there is a stronger element of support that ukraine requires, and i can add moldova and the balkans, there is a whole area of concern there, and as i add, you got china increasingly supporting russia, watching very carefully what is going on at the moment because it
should we keep supporting this? if you were president zelensky you will be going around and getting more support now to ensure you can maintain your military offensive evenifin maintain your military offensive even if in the early days it looks like progress is potentially slower than people expect and questions are being asked. that would be prudent. potentially he has realised that and is going for the next round of support. stillamerican is going for the next round of support. still american support coming so it's notjust europe and these powers but it seems to make sense from a longer term planning perspective that he gets out there now and lays the groundwork. i also think the uk hasjust pledged now and lays the groundwork. i also think the uk has just pledged today hundreds of longer range, perhaps 200 kilometres missiles, on top of the storm shadow missiles they pledged on thursday so there is a very practical element to this. fine
and they say they need these jets to carry out successful counteroffensive. the president is also very grateful for the helper has been provided by western nations, but seeing ukrainians still don't have they need to go ahead with this counteroffensive. {lit with this counteroffensive. of course, the amount of support given by european leaders pales in comparison to what is provided by the us, but there has been a lot of rhetoric about the uk being a real leader in terms of providing support, compared to other european leaders, and this is the fourth stop in president zelensky�*s to a meeting with other european leaders. how does the british government, how does the british government, how does the british government, how does the uk government support compared with the other european leaders? ~ ~' ,,
definitely not the last, so the door has been left open. since the military aid to come. have been speaking to military experts and the chair of the defence select committee, tobias ellwood, about that, and the idea is that actually there is a lot more support that is needed and there is a signposting of the fact there will be more support to come, but what has already been pledged as hundreds of air defence missiles and long—range attack drones. that's according to downing street. so that's what the discussions are dealing with at the moment. let's collide to kyiv where we are joined moment. let's collide to kyiv where we arejoined by moment. let's collide to kyiv where we are joined by a moment. let's collide to kyiv where we arejoined by a ukrainian member of parliament for the 0desa region. just tells about the significance of

image that was taken a very short time ago that has been tweeted a couple of minutes ago by the prime minister. hugo, let me bring her back in. is there a concern, a sense of anxiety, that there is a finite amount of support, that there could be an end or a limitation to the desire or the ability of leaders to help? desire or the ability of leaders to hel ? , , ., ~' , desire or the ability of leaders to hel? , ~ , . desire or the ability of leaders to hel? , ~' , . help? this is a key concern. i spoke to president — help? this is a key concern. i spoke to president zelensky _ help? this is a key concern. i spoke to president zelensky last - help? this is a key concern. i spoke to president zelensky last weekend | to president zelensky last weekend and he told me he thought some people may be tired of the war and that could result in some pressure on western countries to perhaps try to put pressure on ukraine to enter negotiations with the russian authorities and again i think president zelensky warned of the risk of a frozen conflict. he said
