Ukraine, Russian ambassador Andrey Kelin. has told TASS news agency: "All arms supplies are destabilising, particularly those mentioned by Wallace."They exacerbate the situation, making it even bloodier.

Apparently, those are new, high-precision weapons."Naturally, our armed forces will view them as a legitimate target if those supplies get through the Ukrainian border."Ben Wallace has said that the Ukrainians will need the right kit to take on the Russian army as it continues to pummel Ukrainian cities with its bombs and missiles.According to The Times Britain will soon be sending smart weapons similar to the Switchblade “kamikaze” drones sent to the Ukrainians by the US.A Whitehall source said that allies were “planning for the long term” and were finding ways to help Ukraine to “keep getting stronger while Russians weaken”.The UK has so far given Ukraine weapons and other equipment worth over £100 million according to documents published by Chancellor Rishi Sunak on March 23.On Friday, Mr Wallace said: “We are increasing our co-ordination to step up military support and ensure the armed forces of Ukraine grow stronger as they continue to repel Russian forces.” He told Sky News: “There will be more lethal aid going into Ukraine as a result of today.

Ukraine needs longer-range artillery and that’s because of what the Russian army has been doing, which is now digging in and starting to pound these cities with artillery.Mr Wallace appeared to tell two Russian hoax callers last week that Britain had sent over 4,000 missiles to Ukraine and supplies were running low at home.Stay in the loop with all the latest Daily Star news by signing up for one of our free newsletters here.He also revealed a desire for Ukraine to join.
