David Lidington: We would not stand by

The UK will continue to supply non-lethal equipment to Ukraine.

It was said by the UK's Minister for Europe David Lidington, the Ukrainian service of RFE/RL reports.

The UK will continue to supply non-lethal equipment to Ukraine, including body armour, Lidington said at an event to discuss the Ukrainian situation hosted by Carnegie Europe in Brussels on February 10.

As for lethal weapons, no decision has been made so far, but this position can be reviewed if the situation changes, he said. “We would not just stand by and see Ukrainian forces completely collapse,” the British minister stressed.
