Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the UK about its plans to give fighter jets to Ukraine.

In a Wednesday speech to the UK parliament, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, asked for the jets.

The Russian Embassy in London quickly responded, saying that giving the jets would cause bloodshed and escalate the conflict with Russia.

The UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has not committed to giving the jets but said that nothing was off the table in his discussions with Zelensky.

During a press conference, Sunak said that sending the jets was part of the conversation.

The UK’s Defence Secretary has been asked to investigate what jets the UK could give Ukraine.

Boris Johnson, a former UK Prime Minister, has encouraged the UK to give Ukraine the tools to defeat Russia.

After a visit to a training site for Ukrainian troops in Dorset, Rishi Sunak and Zelensky signed a declaration of unity, saying they would defeat Russia’s invasion with allies.
