Shapps Says Help is Needed for Ukraine

RBC News in Ukraine says that the British Minister of Defence, Grant Shapps, has warned democracies the world over that there will be "serious consequences" if the autocratic Russian state is allowed to become victorious in its conflict with the Ukraine.  "If we allow Putin to win this war by dragging it out and he somehow wins it by exhausting everybody else, then we will suffer the consequences. And the consequences would be incredibly severe for Europe, for Britain, for the world. And the reason I say that is because we know what happens when dictators march across Europe.," he explained.
