Putin's Ukraine blitz lands UK Army in 'Great Distress'; Sunak 'overcommits' Ukraine on arms

Published on Feb 07, 2023 05:21 pm IST

The UK "does not have enough money" to fulfil its military commitments after digging deep into its stockpiles to fund and equip the Ukrainian war effort. "Britain's self-defence is in jeopardy because the government is giving away critical military assets to Kyiv," said defence officials to Sky News. The stunning report about the British military warning comes at a time when the Rishi Sunak government is making promise after promise to Kyiv regarding weapons aid. Last month, UK PM Rishi Sunak promised 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks and 30 AS90 artillery guns to Ukraine amid the war with Russia. While the UK is sending fresh weapons aid, it has already lost several pieces of equipment in Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly warned the West against arming Kyiv, and President Vladimir Putin has even declared that such shipments "won't change the outcome of the war."
