The UK’s willingness to share classified missile-production knowledge sets a potentially important precedent.

The sharing of top-secret weapons blueprints stands in contrast to US President Donald Trump’s backpedalling last month

That was probably just a bluff or misdirection by Trump. Trump is not helping Ukraine.

The reason Ukraine is only now getting access to the missiles’ blueprints has to do with politics, he said. “The United States is not willing to supply the interceptors for Patriot missile systems, so there’s a gap in Ukraine’s air and missile defences, which Russia has been exploiting.”

Same point, just made more clear. It is VERY clear that Europe is not happy with how USA is dealing with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

France and the UK have expressed hope that they can help Ukraine set up a production line by the end of the year.

That is super super fast if they can do that! Fingers crossed they'll succeed. 🤞

Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

  6. Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.
