Britain’s foreign secretary on Thursday visited the German foreign minister in London for the first annual UK-Germany Strategic Dialogue.

At the meeting, James Cleverly and Annalena Baerbock agreed to collaborate on a number of critical issues, including support for Ukraine, energy security, and combating climate change.

In a statement, Cleverly stated that the two countries were “the closest of partners, and we are harnessing the strength of our connection to solve the shared challenges we face today.”

“As Europe’s leading economies, we’ve agreed to work closely on our unwavering support for Ukraine and combatting climate change,” he added.

Speaking at a joint press conference, Cleverly suggested that tanks could be part of the next phase of weapons transfers to Ukraine, saying the matter was kept under constant review.

For her part, Baerbock underlined that if Russian President Vladimir Putin “believes he has the longest staying power and Ukraine will run out of weapons soon, he is wrong.”

She said that for Ukraine to retake its territories currently held by Russia, Kyiv would need to be given offensive weapons, adding that Putin’s “policy of annexing land” would fail.

US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared on Thursday their desire to supply Ukraine with armoured combat vehicles as it fights Russia in the current conflict.

In a phone chat, Biden and Scholz emphasized their joint intention to continue giving Ukraine with essential financial, humanitarian, military, and diplomatic support for as long as it is required.

The United States planned to send Bradley infantry combat vehicles to Kyiv, while Germany expects to send Marder infantry fighting vehicles.
