Downing Street has revealed that the Prime Minister has asked the Defence Secretary to look into the possibility of sending fighter jets to Ukraine, following a direct plea from the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky. A No 10 spokesperson insisted that no decision had been made on whether the UK would supply planes to Ukraine, but said the matter was being “actively” considered by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace. Several other nations have recently pledged to send additional military equipment, including the US and Germany, which is promising to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks and has given the go-ahead to other European nations to ship their Leopard 2s
