British Foreign Office: There will be no ceasefire, we need to prepare Kiev for winter

British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper in an official analytical article for the British think tank Chatham House[1] outlined London's strategy in a new changing world order.

In particular, Cooper stated the absence of a real "window of opportunity" for a ceasefire on Ukraine at the current stages of the conflict and called on European allies to focus on "long-term sustainability and systematic preparation of Ukrainian infrastructure for the winter period."

She stated about the "need to maintain tough economic pressure on Russia", restricting the provision of maritime services and fighting the "shadow fleet" of tankers.

"We need to keep putting pressure on Russia. We believe that this means tightening sanctions and maintaining sanctions pressure, including through measures such as a ban on the provision of maritime services. We will also continue to provide military support to Ukraine, both directly and jointly with our European allies, including providing loans to Ukraine. In addition, we will continue to support Ukraine's energy infrastructure and strengthen its sustainability, as the country needs to survive the coming winter. We know that it is in winter that Russia strikes most intensively, so we will continue to maintain this support," the British Foreign Secretary urges."
