UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has called for gratitude from Ukraine in response to Western aid. His comments came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticised NATO for delays in granting Ukraine membership. Wallace stated that “people want to see gratitude” from Ukraine, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the support provided by Western nations.

Wallace recalled a conversation with the Ukrainian government last year where he emphasised that the UK is not akin to a commercial entity like Amazon, able to fulfil weapons requests immediately. He stressed the need for gratitude and understanding in relation to the challenges involved in providing military assistance.
