That's what I hope the sanctioning of the law makers does.
 
More missiles for the good guys:

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce on Thursday that the UK will provide Ukraine with about 6,000 extra missiles.

At the Nato and G7 leaders' meetings in Brussels, Johnson will also unveil £25m ($33m) of funding to help pay Ukrainian soldiers and pilots.

The UK government will also provide £4.1m for the BBC World Service to help support its Ukrainian and Russian language services in the region.

"The United Kingdom will work with our allies to step up military and economic support to Ukraine, strengthening their defences as they turn the tide in this fight," Johnson said.

"One month into this crisis, the international community faces a choice. We can keep the flame of freedom alive in Ukraine, or risk it being snuffed out across Europe and the world."

Britain said the new package will come on top of around 4,000 missiles already provided by the UK to Ukrainian forces.

The latest funding is in addition to £400m already committed in humanitarian and economic aid, said UK officials.
 
And yet more whining about "anti-Russian" political manoeuvring:

It's getting harder and harder for Russia to deny its isolation on the international stage.

Besides its ally, China, all 13 members abstained from voting on Moscow's draft.

The common message from most members was if Russia cared, and wanted to relieve the suffering of the Ukrainian people, it could end its war now.

Instead, Russia's draft does not even recognise it is the sole cause of the humanitarian disaster or respond to the realities on the ground.

Ukraine has its own humanitarian resolution set for a vote in the General Assembly, where Russia cannot wield its veto.

Still, Moscow doesn't show any sign of changing course.

It denounced the latest General Assembly vote as another anti-Russian show and blamed the humanitarian devastation on Ukrainian "nationalists and radicals".

As British diplomat Barbara Woodward told me after the vote: "I think Russia has consistently misplayed its hand here, and seriously underestimated the consequences of what it's done and the international perception of what it's done.

"They tabled this resolution over a week ago and they kept it on the table and rolled it forward. And, we saw the result today. Only one country supported Russia."
 
In addition, Russia had previously guaranteed Ukraine's sovereignty and borders.

Putin was a KGB officer. This is not a group noted for their strong support of democracy, fair judiciaries, or morality.
