UK, EU in Talks to Accelerate Arms for Ukraine Before Ceasefire

The UK and European Union are in talks to accelerate arms shipments to Ukraine ahead of a potential full ceasefire, Britain’s foreign secretary told Bloomberg shortly before Vladimir Putin agreed to a limited truce.

David Lammy said he discussed the possibility of sending more military support to Ukraine before any broad cessation in fighting is implemented at a meeting in London with the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, Tuesday. The idea was also raised at the Group of Seven meeting of foreign ministers in Canada last week, he said.
