Former PMs stressed weapons should be sent urgently to Kyiv during debate in House of Commons
Boris Johnson and Liz Truss have urged Rishi Sunak to send fighter jets to Ukraine during a debate in the House of Commons.
Their interventions added to the pressure on the prime minister to send British fighter jets to Ukraine. “Every extra day, a life lost, women violated, towns destroyed. We need to do all we can, as fast as we can. She added: “[We] supplied weapons to Ukraine, and many around this chamber have commented that maybe we should have supplied weapons earlier, but I can tell you from working inside the government, that we did all we could as quickly as we could to persuade allies, and we have built up now an alliance of countries supplying those weapons and I can’t wait to see the tanks, and I can’t wait to see the fighter jets in Ukraine to help those brave Ukrainians.
