Rishi Sunak insists that the defence secretary's suggestion that British troops could train forces in Ukraine is not for the "here and now" during the war against the Russian invasion.
The prime minister rules out UK forces going to Ukraine and says that the recently appointed Grant Shapps was discussing possible plans for the "long term".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sharply criticised Western countries for imposing restrictions on the use of donated arms, accusing them of being "afraid" of both a Russian and Ukrainian defeat. In a candid interview with AFP on Friday, Zelensky expressed his frustration over the conditions placed on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Kiev. āThey can fire any weapons from their territory at ours. This is the biggest advantage that Russia has. We canāt do anything to their systems, which are located on the territory of Russia, with Western weapons,ā Zelensky stated in the interview aired on Saturday. This restriction significantly hampers Ukraine's ability to retaliate against Russian forces effectively.
