This Thursday, the UK chief executive clarified that he would not send military aircraft to Ukraine immediately, despite allowing for such a possibility “in the long term”.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged that sending fighter-bombers to Ukraine is one of the topics of talks with Kyiv, but Defense Secretary Ben Wallace warned this Thursday in statements to the BBC that any move in that direction could take several months.
“It’s not easy to get a plane to the border,” said Wallace, who is currently advocating “a different kind of assistance” that could improve Ukraine’s armed forces in the “short term.”
London cited long-range missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and the continuation of an already existing pilot training program.
Ukrainian head of state Volodymyr Zelensky explicitly asked for fighter jets during his speech to the British Parliament, defending an international “new coalition” similar to the agreement between several European states to send German Leopard tanks. for Ukraine.
