Ukraine Allies: Punch Above Your Weight, Says Ex-PM Cameron! We Outmuscle Putin 25 to 1!
Imagine a boxing match where one fighter is 25 times stronger than the other. That’s the advantage Ukraine’s allies have over Russia, according to former UK Prime Minister, Lord. But are they using their full strength? Not yet, says Cameron, and he’s urging them to hit harder!
Speaking at a security conference, Cameron praised Britain’s leadership in providing weapons and security guarantees to Ukraine. But he’s worried it’s not enough. The US, for example, is struggling to pass a crucial $61 billion aid package, and Cameron wants them to approve it ASAP.
He wants all allies to throw everything they’ve got at Ukraine’s back: financial support, diplomatic pressure, military aid,and moral backing. He doesn’t want Russian President Putin thinking he can wear them down.
While acknowledging efforts by Britain and the EU, Cameron emphasizes the need for a united front, especially from the US. Some US politicians, mainly Republicans, are making things difficult by focusing on other issues. But Cameron remains optimistic. He believes a united UK, EU, and US, with their combined economic might 25 times greater than Russia’s, can make a real difference.
Unfortunately, Ukraine is facing tough choices. Their new commander just ordered a strategic retreat from a key city to avoid being surrounded by Russian troops.
But there are bright spots too! Cameron points to Ukrainian successes like sinking a Russian ship and pushing back their fleet. These, along with a reviving economy, show Ukrainian resilience.

Another blow to the fight came with the recent death of Alexei Navalny, a brave critic of Putin. Cameron called him an inspiration and highlighted how his life and death exposed the truth about Putin’s regime.
Cameron wants the world to take action against such human rights abuses. He says diplomatic measures have already been taken, but hinted at further actions without revealing specifics.
The message is clear: Ukraine needs more help, and its allies need to step up their game. They have the resources, they have the power, and now they need to show the will to defeat aggression and stand with Ukraine.
