British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said that the training of Ukrainian pilots in the kingdom does not mean the early transfer of fighters to Kiev. He said this in an interview with Finance Times.
Wallace said London has no plans to send fighter jets to Ukraine anytime soon, and pilot training serves the long-term goal of protecting the country “after hostilities are over”.
The British defense minister added that Ukraine has always had a shortage of ammunition on the front lines, but has not seen “evidence of a strategic shortage”. According to him, the Ukrainian army should switch to the Western style of warfare, open targeted fire and reduce the number of shells used.
