No immediate transfer of UK fighter jets to Ukraine, says defence secretary
There will be no immediate transfer of UK fighter jets to Ukraine, the defence secretary has said.
The defence secretary said the UK was instead focused on using alternative provision of air cover to Ukraine. "Those same effects can be done, but potentially through a different way - and without taking months, which of course gifting fighter jets would take."The first step to providing Ukraine with aircraft is training their pilots, says Rishi Sunak
Mr Wallace said he had a duty to ensure the UK and Nato had the aircraft needed for their own defence.
