After holding talks with Colonna in Paris, Cameron said that if you calculate the economies of Ukraine’s Western partners, we surpass the Russian economy by 25 to one, or more.
“We must make that economic force and that commitment bear results,” he said. “If we can, I have no doubt that we can guarantee that (Russian ruler Vladimir) Putin loses, and it is essential that he does lose.”
Neither Cameron nor Colonna announced new aid for Ukraine in their statements to the press, and they did not take questions.
“From the beginning, our two countries have worked together to ensure that Russian aggression does not benefit, that it is a failure,” Colonna said.
Ukraine and the USA
In the United States, aid to Ukraine has become entangled in domestic politics. President Joe Biden’s request for billions of dollars in war aid is stalled in Congress. The European Union and its 27 member states have sent financial, military, humanitarian and refugee aid worth $91 billion. But they cannot agree on the next sum.
Cameron said support for Ukraine from Britain – which has ceased to be a member of the EU – and France would continue “for as long as necessary.”
