Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the UK on Wednesday, marking his first trip to the country since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and pleaded for London to provide Kiev with fighter jets in a speech to the British parliament.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appears ready to oblige Zelensky’s request and asked his defense minister, Ben Wallace, to look at providing fighter jets to Kiev as part of “long-term” support for Ukraine. A spokesman for Sunak said Wallace is now “actively looking at whether we send jets.”
