Details: The agency notes that John Gilly arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday, December 18.
In a conversation with the correspondent, Gili said that the purpose of the trip was to talk with the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umyerov about a joint plan of action to strengthen Ukraine “not only now, in the battle you are currently fighting, but also during 2025 and in the future.”
“This is also a way to tell Putin that we will support Ukraine and work on coordinating the activities of other countries to support Ukraine as long as it takes… We need to make Ukraine stronger and put pressure on Putin,” said John Geely.
When asked about Putin’s nuclear threats in an attempt to curb aid to Ukraine, the minister said that they are not working.
“We shouldn’t be scared by Putin’s rhetoric or any of his escalation actions. And they don’t scare us,” he said.
He expressed his conviction that Putin “will not win, no matter how long it takes.”
The British TV channel Sky News reported that Gili already met with the Deputy Minister of Defense Serhii Boev, they visited the exhibition of destroyed Russian equipment on Mykhailivska Square and the wall of memory of the fallen defenders of Ukraine.
It will be recalled that last month John Geely attended a meeting with the defense ministers of four other European countries, where they discussed further support for Ukraine against the backdrop of Trump’s return to the White House.
British intelligence reported that in November the average daily losses of the Russian occupying forces in Ukraine (killed and wounded) reached a new record.
