Zelensky's tour of EU is in the UK today (Monday). So early morning bits from the BBC:
Quote:Last week, Zelensky told me that his country still had to wait to launch this assault.
His military, he said, was still waiting for some equipment, including armoured vehicles.
Major advances could guarantee continued support.
Anything that is seen as disappointing could result in pressure to enter negotiations with Moscow, something that Zelensky acknowledged as a possibility.
Quote:The UK will send "hundreds" of long-range attack drones and air defence missiles to Ukraine, Downing Street said on Monday morning.
"Today the prime minister will confirm the further UK 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," No 10 said in a statement.
"These will all be delivered over the coming months as Ukraine prepares to intensify its resistance to the ongoing Russian invasion."
Though the announcement of more drones seems to be new, we already knew the UK was sending a batch of long-range missiles to Ukraine - that was announced on Thursday.
Quote:The prime minister's spokesman said: "The Ukrainians made the decision to train their pilots on F-16s and you will know the RAF don't use those."But I heard the PM indicate they would be training Ukrainian citizens as pilots in the very near future (apparently that was announced in February).
