UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron warned of the “costs of failing to support Ukraine” ahead of his visit to Washington to urge US House Speaker Mike Johnson to find a way for Congress to approve a $60 billion military aid package.

Cameron and his French counterpart, Stephane Sejourne, used a joint article in the Telegraph to call on allies to “do even more to ensure we defeat Russia” while marking the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale alliance between the nations.
