Pledges of support by Sunak, the UK prime minister, included training Ukrainian pilots on advanced Nato fighter jets The expansion of the UK’s training programme to include fighter pilots is significant as Zelenskiy has. The UK has so far refused, arguing that the RAF’s F-35 and Typhoon jets take too long for pilots to train on. Sunak also confirmed that UK Challenger 2 tanks would be deployed in Ukraine next month.“On the contrary, Moscow is preparing for new military offensives,” he said during a joint press conference with the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken.
