UK Defence Secretary: No-Fly Zone Too Far But More Anti-Aircraft Missiles On The Way To Ukraine

The UK’s defence secretary has once again rejected President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Ben Wallace told the BBC it would be a “step too far”.

But Secretary Wallace confirmed that Britain is supplying high velocity anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine.

Last week he told MPs that he was examining the supply of Starstreak missiles.

The MoD has not specified how many anti-aircraft missiles are being sent or said how Ukrainian forces will be trained in how to use them.

However, Secretary Wallace said that the UK had delivered 4,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine.
