‘Ukraine will defeat Russia,’ Zelenskyy tells UK parliament, urges allies to send combat aircraft & weapons

UK has offered to train Ukrainian fighter pilots on top of an existing programme that has already prepared 10,000 troops for battle. However, UK stopped short of offering Kyiv its Typhoon and F-35 fighter jets saying it would require months if not years of training

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday vowed victory over Russia as he called on western nations to provide Ukraine with warplanes, in a historic address to the UK parliament.

“We know freedom will win, we know Russia will lose. The United Kingdom is marching with us towards the most… important victory of our lifetime. It will be a victory over the very idea of the war,” he said.

“I appeal to you and the world… for combat aircraft for Ukraine, wings for freedom,” he told lawmakers of the lower and upper houses of the British parliament.

Zelenskyy also urged Kyiv’s allies to supply “the necessary weapons” to stop Russia’s invasion.

He “emphasised the importance for Ukraine to receive the necessary weapons from allies to stop the Russian offensive and liberate all temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories,” the Ukrainian presidency said in a statement following the Ukrainian president’s meeting with UK PM Rishi Sunak.

The Ukrainian president also met King Charles III.

This is Zelenskyy’s first trip to the UK and only the second trip overseas since the Russia-Ukraine war began nearly a year ago. He visited the US last December.

UK to train Ukrainian pilots

UK has offered to train Ukrainian fighter pilots on top of an existing programme that has already prepared 10,000 troops for battle.

The country, however, stopped short, of offering Kyiv its Typhoon and F-35 fighter jets saying it would require months if not years of training.

It added that it would consider the proposal for combat aircraft in the “long term”, although the United States and other NATO allies remain wary of getting more embroiled in the conflict.

The United States has so far also rejected any deliveries of F-16 warplanes to Ukraine, but other partners, including Poland, have shown themselves more open to the idea.

Sunak’s office said he had tasked the defence secretary with “investigating what jets we might be able to give but, to be clear, this is a long-term solution rather than a short-term capability.”

In the meantime, the new UK training will “ensure pilots are able to fly sophisticated NATO-standard fighter jets in the future”, an earlier statement from Sunak’s office said.

Speaking alongside Zelenskyy in front of a British tank, Sunak said that “nothing is off the table” for Ukraine — including fighter-combat aircraft.

“Of course they are part of the conversation,” he said but held back from giving a concrete commitment to provide fighter planes.

Zelenskyy said that fighter jets had been discussed and reiterated his call for longer-range missiles.

Russia subsequently said that there would be a “response” from Moscow should Britain supply aircraft to Ukraine.

Deadliest 24 hours for Russian troops: Ukraine

Meanwhile, Ukraine on Tuesday said the last 24 hours were the deadliest of the war so far for Russian troops, as Moscow hurls tens of thousands of freshly mobilised soldiers and mercenaries into relentless winter assaults in the east.

The Ukrainian military increased its running tally of Russian military dead by 1,030 overnight to 133,190, and described the increase as the highest of the war so far. It also said its troops destroyed 25 Russian tanks in the last two days.

However, the number of casualties could not be independently confirmed, and Moscow denies its forces have suffered losses on such a scale.

  23. Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks

If you need to speak to a customer service staff, you can initiate a Live Chat on your Crypto mobile app. Launch your app, and click on the speech bubble icon on the top right hand corner of the homepage. There, you’ll be able to send the customer support team a message, and see the live status of any errors you may have ran into while using the app. by Andrew Zakordonets If you’re paying for a transfer, or adding money to your Wise account, the money must come from an account in your name.

    We can’t obviously push complexity to payment handlers because merchants cannot simply work with any handler that registers for that generic 3DS method. Nor can they hand over all the data involved to an unknown middleman that speaks to the 3DS server for them. Soft declines are increasing as expected, as are soft decline resubmissions. The sooner merchants adopt 3DS2, the sooner they can learn where soft declines are occurring. And the sooner they can hone robust SCA exception strategies to optimize payment performance and deliver a seamless but secure customer experience. The researchers explained that chatGPT could not detect contextual nuances of the questions, thus creating many incorrect answers. The lesson from the study is that current generative AI is not suitable for writing code, and can even affect programming with other methods. Some major companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon have either banned or issued warnings about the use of generative AIs, like ChatGPT, for code suggestion.

  69. We created TitanPay – a payment processing solution allowing the end user to receive virtual or physical debit card, which enable fiat currency transactions and withdrawals directly from the user’s wallet in which he holds cryptocurrency. Setup alternate accounts that shows up when the wallet is unlocked with your alternate password if you are being threatened The dilemma we face is profound. Cryptocurrencies offer an exciting new frontier for finance, providing a decentralized, transparent, and potentially more democratic monetary system. Yet, these potential benefits are being undermined by an unsustainable energy model that threatens to exacerbate climate change. Titan is more than worthy of your consideration if you’re interested in a managed investment strategy and asset classes that have historically been out of reach to everyday investors, but its shortcomings are something to consider too. Minimum investments are nothing new with portfolio management. That said, Titan’s $500 to $2,500 minimum investment requirements for its managed funds can be a roadblock for many investors. And if you’re in need of timely support, you may find that Titan misses the mark here. We reached out by email and live chat during normal business hours, but never received a response.
