6:06 pm
willing that he is talking about is growing. he said, _etwhey wwwweewewwwewwwwww yet, they can speak involved yet, they can speak for themselves." but that sort of immediate help for ukraine, ww of more w e—— m help for ukraine, is coming a of from a growing number of countries because, although is about putting europe is talking about putting more money in to defence and security, new budgets security, agreeing new budgets and procuring more armaments getting those armaments and getting these arrnarnents use, that takes period into use, that takes a period time so there has to be of time so there has to be a group countries who are groupof countries who are . to up in the turn w w w turn to give ukraine immediate turn to give ukraine the support that it needs. a we had prime w-w the uk, france minister that the uk. france others, but others that minister that the uk. france i not named, thers that minister that the uk. france i not named, agreed at minister that the uk. france i not named, agreed to were net nameci agreed te leerjz. ,- ,,--, w --- . a were net nameci aereecl te weld! —— ~——— —— ——— — a plan were net nameci aereee te e'efl! —— ~——— —— ——— — a plan but eeere net nameci aereee te weerje —— ~——— —— ——— — a plan but didn't reveal any details about that plan. was it yoursense details about that plan. was it your sense perhaps your sense that they perhaps don't have that details don't have that many details worked out because they did they would meet soon? say they would meet again soon? i think is a
