The joint plea comes as US Republicans remain committed to a new funding deal for the war-torn country and as European capitals consider their options to constrain Moscow amid signs of fatigue after two years.
“This war is the biggest test of our generation,” the couple wrote. “Completely unprovoked invasion. A clear threat to our collective security. The clearest example is when one country tries to extinguish the independence of another.
“Other opponents are watching how we react. Will we stand by Ukraine? Will we withstand Putin's naked aggression? The consequences of failure will not only be felt in Ukraine, they will reshape the world as we know it.”
Cameron, the former British prime minister-turned-foreign secretary, stepped down briefly earlier this month when he traveled to Washington to try to support Ukraine. US Representative Marjorie Taylor Green, an ally of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, told a top British diplomat to “kiss my ass.”
But Cameron and Sikorsky, who serves as a foreign affairs specialist in Donald Tusk's administration, cite the 1996 American comedy film: Jerry Maguire as they urge the US and allies to “show me the money”.
“The UK and the EU have committed more funding to Ukraine, and we believe it is in America's and all our allies' interests to do the same,” they write.
