What Wallace advised Ukraine
The minister said that the West would like to hear words of gratitude from Ukraine for arms supplies instead of criticism for refusing to accept the country into the alliance under an accelerated procedure.
Whether you like it or not, people want to see a little gratitude said Wallace.
He said that during a visit to Kyiv last year, Ukrainian authorities provided him with a list of weapons needed by the Ukrainian army, and that it reminded him of going to the store.
You know, we’re not Amazon. I told them this last year when I drove 11 hours to get the list, – said the head of the UK Ministry of Defense.
