which is why the then PM alone supported Ukraine right from the start
But only to a very, very limited degree. The evidence is irrefutable. The UK - like the USA - gave only very limited aid to Ukraine, most of which could also be used in a guerilla war. If London had had greater confidence in the Ukrainian army, they would have supplied them with heavy weapons right away, instead of waiting for 3 more months.
The UK is as you say "independent". They could have supplied Ukraine with tanks, heavy artillery, planes et al even before 2022 with no one being able to veto it. But they did not, most likely because they shared their Western allies scepticism of Ukraine's capabilities. Which is fine. But it is hardly something to brag about.
it's also the only one without a lame duck political leader.
It is certainly nice to see that the UK has finally a respectable PM again.
don't remove my name from the quote.
I dont, they are just like that in posts when I quote them.
