Cameron urges US to aid Ukraine and not show ‘weakness displayed to Hitler’

David Cameron has urged US lawmakers to pass a bill including support for Ukraine and warned them not to show “the weakness displayed against Hitler”.

The foreign secretary said Congress should vote through the foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan for the sake of global security. The bill has passed through the senate but faces a deeply uncertain future in the House of Representatives, where Republicans aligned with presidential frontrunner Donald Trump oppose the legislation.

“Right now in Congress, the American support for Ukraine is being debated, and I urge those congressmen and women to pass that bill to provide that money, to provide those weapons to Ukraine,” Lord Cameron said on a visit to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

“They are fighting off illegal Putin aggression and they need our support. We should be standing up for freedom, standing up for the right of this country to defend itself and making sure that Putin doesn’t win.
