Western allies must “double down” on support for Ukraine with both heavy weapons and air power, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

In a keynote foreign policy speech, Ms Truss said the international architecture intended to guarantee peace and prosperity had failed Ukraine in the face of an attack by a “desperate rogue operator” and now Kyiv must be given what it needs “to push Russia<\/a> <\/strong>out”.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Mansion House in London, she said: “The war in Ukraine is our war – it is everyone’s war because Ukraine’s victory is a strategic imperative for all of us.<\/p>\n

“Heavy weapons, tanks, aeroplanes – digging deep into our inventories, ramping up production. We need to do all of this.”<\/p>\n

NATO nations have supplied Ukraine with military supplies including missiles and armoured vehicles. But so far they have been reluctant to send fighter planes for fear of escalating the conflict.<\/p>\n

She appeared to address this by saying: “Some argue we shouldn’t provide heavy weapons for fear of provoking something worse.<\/p>\n

“But my view, is that inaction would be the greatest provocation. This is a time for courage not for caution.”<\/p>\n
