UK to send first long-range missiles to Ukraine – BBC News



The UK is sending its first long-range missiles to Ukraine, the defence secretary has said, despite a threat from Russia to the West.

Ben Wallace said the M270 multiple-launch rocket system will help Ukraine defend itself against Russia.

The government has not confirmed how many weapons will be sent, but the BBC understands it will be three initially.

The decision comes after the US announced last week it was also supplying a rocket system.

  1. Putin is your typical Eastern Orthodox, picks fights and bullies his Eastern Orthodox “brothers” then befriends Muslim countries like Turkey and Iran. Is it any wonder why the Eastern Orthodox fell to Islam then communist, with traitors like Putin not hard to imagine

  2. Surrender US aided Ukraine. Ukrainians in Ukraine are losers and Losers cannot be choosers. EU Contact UN and force Ukraine to stop war and force Ukrainian's to stop all fighting.
    Declare and go past, No man's land borders and vacate land.
    Who knows what everybody's lives have store for them. Sorry, you aren't right. Life is priority.Surrender to Russian army, US,UK aided Ukraine. Ukrainians in Ukraine is a loser and Losers cannot be choosers. You and zelensky, go to EU madam. Land is baggage, leave. Land is stage trap, love is not. Loved ones can be free,relocate elsewhere and live happily. Don't show us your food scare, scat off. War aid is jealousy, killing oneself. Surrender US aided Ukraine. Ukrainians in Ukrainian's are all losers and Losers cannot be choosers. You can forget all, Evacuate and change citizenship, relocate. Your lives can be of other uses.
    Let all Ukrainian's invaded, become happy refugees forever to save own lives first and never go back to Ukraine, what are you tourists? Get out and don't go back to Ukraine ever again.
    Come, you want war? Reduce your Ukraine size in your head and on ground. No don't fight.
    This is THE problem.
    Get out of Ukraine, dumb inciter Zelensky!

I wonder how many weapons we have left in the UK to defend us if all out war started 🤔😕 plus giving billions in money to PAY the Ukraine soldiers WHILE our soldiers and EX-SERVICEMEN are struggling with cost of living JUST like us all!!!! British people mean nothing to this government, until all out war starts!!!

  4. @ [ 2:00 ] Putin referred to Britain as the "United States and some other countries." It could be shade or the genuine difficulties of differentiating foreign and military policies of Anglo-American countries. With the Great Game, Cold War, and now the Russo-Ukrainian War, the US and UK do seem identical.

    That's just one more reason for the UK to keep arming Ukraine with long-range artillery systems. You might as well use Britain's bombs that are in storage and give them to Zelenskyy.
