I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Putin in 2008, when he invaded Georgia, UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, stated.

In an article published in The Hill, the UK Foreign Secretary emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine in the face of unjustified aggression. He called for collective action from the US, UK, European allies, and others to stand with Ukraine.

“I want us all — U.S., U.K., European and other allies — to support Ukraine in fighting against completely unjustified aggression. It is hard to think of a clearer case of one country being invaded by another without the slightest justification.

I believe our joint history shows the folly of giving in to tyrants in Europe who believe in redrawing boundaries by force.

I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Hitler in the 1930s. He came back for more, costing us far more lives to stop his aggression.

I do not want us to show the weakness displayed against Putin in 2008, when he invaded Georgia, or the uncertainty of the response in 2014, when he took Crimea and much of the Donbas — before coming back to cost us far more with his aggression in 2022,” David Cameron notes.
