Cameron and Séjourné emphasized the importance of continuing to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, highlighting the potential consequences of Ukraine losing the war. They called on Western allies to provide more funding to Ukraine to ensure its success. The joint article published in the Daily Telegraph marked the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale between France and the U.K., showcasing the historic cooperation between the two nations.
The aid package for Ukraine, totaling $95 billion, has been delayed in the U.S. House of Representatives as some conservative lawmakers seek to block further funding for the conflict. Cameron is expected to push for approval of the aid package during his visit to Washington this week, where he will meet with U.S. lawmakers and urge them to prioritize the security of the West by supporting Ukraine. He called on House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans to approve the funding, stressing that the security of the U.S., Europe, and Britain is at risk without additional aid for Ukraine.
Cameron’s trip to Washington follows the joint rallying cry with Séjourné for more funding for Ukraine, as the two leaders emphasized the importance of Ukraine winning the war against Russia. They warned of the greater costs of failing to support Ukraine now, compared to the costs of repelling Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The Entente Cordiale anniversary was marked with military ceremonies in Paris and London, underscoring the longstanding cooperation between France and Britain despite Brexit.
The article highlighted the shared commitment of France and Britain to supporting Ukraine and ensuring its victory in the conflict with Russia. Through their joint efforts, the two nations called on other Western allies to provide additional funding to Ukraine and stand united in the face of Russian aggression. Cameron’s upcoming visit to Washington provides an opportunity for him to personally urge U.S. lawmakers to approve the aid package and demonstrate the unwavering support of the UK for Ukraine’s security and success in the ongoing war.
