The latest announcement came as Ukraine's President Zelenskyy visited Britain, one of the Kyiv's staunchest supporters. "We want to create a fighter jets coalition," Zelenskyy said Monday, following talks with Sunak, Reuters reported. The U.K. has previously ruled out giving Ukraine fighter jets, as has the U.S., but the latest comments signal a change of position could be on the cards.A top Chinese envoy's visit to Ukraine is due to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to media reports.
The British government is expected to "confirm the further U.K. provision of hundreds of air defence missiles and further unmanned aerial systems including hundreds of new long-range attack drones with a range of over 200km," or 124 miles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wait to meet Ukrainian troops being trained to command Challenger 2 tanks at a military facility in Lulworth, Dorset, in southern England, on Feb. 8, 2023."This is a crucial moment in Ukraine's resistance to a terrible war of aggression they did not choose or provoke," Sunak said in a statement.
The government also hinted it could be galvanizing support among Ukraine's allies to get fighter jets to Kyiv after repeated requests by Ukraine. "This cooperation will continue today. I will meet my friend Rishi. We will conduct substantive negotiations face-to-face and in delegations." "Today our units captured more than ten enemy positions in the north and south of Bakhmut's outskirts and cleared a large area of forest near Ivanivske. Enemy soldiers from different units were captured," she said in comments translated by NBC, saying the gains had been made "against all odds."
In recent days, however, Ukraine appears to have redoubled efforts to push Russian forces out of parts of the town they've been occupying.
