Should the United Kingdom provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?

On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with around 7.1 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced. It has also caused global food shortages.

Ukraine is a stalemate and a lost cause that cannot be won now. We were too late to see the threat. They need to rapidly negotiate a ceasefire from a position of strength supported by the West, and focus on building up the strength of NATO forces to prevent Russian attack elsewhere now.

we should definitely be helping them but we also should be focusing on ourselves due to having our own massive problems with homelessness, people not having access to food and limited access to healthcare when needed. I don't feel I know enough to say if we should decrease how much we are sending them but its something to consider.

U.S. Runs Out Of Patriot Air Defense Missiles

The US has no Patriot missile systems to spare for Ukraine, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has told MSNBC.The official was responding to reported comments by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Addressing a virtual meeting of the so-called Ukraine Defense Contact Group on Friday, Zelensky demanded “at least seven” Patriot batteries from his Western backers. Kiev’s main sponsor, however, has indicated that it has none to spare.“The US Patriot systems right now are being deployed around the world, including in the Middle East, to protect US troops,” Sullivan said.“If we can unlock further American Patriot batteries we would send them. But we are doing a lot of the supplying of the actual missiles that go into those batteries that get fired,” the official insisted.The Pentagon has pledged additional Patriot munitions as part of a “historic” $6 billion assistance package announced on Friday. However, the interceptors could take months or even years to arrive, as the batch will not come from existing Pentagon stockpiles. Instead, the announcement “represents the beginning of a contracting process” with the US defense industry.Manufactured by US arms giant Raytheon, a single MIM-104 Patriot battery costs over $1 billion. It consists of multiple truck-mounted units, including power, radar, antenna, engagement control and other support vehicles, as well as up to eight launchers with interceptor missiles.
