It could take years for the UK to rebuild its weapons stockpile to the level before the Ukraine war, the head of the British armed forces has said.

Britain, which has become one of Ukraine’s most important allies in the country’s resistance against the Russian invasion, was the first European country to send lethal aid to Ukraine and has sent military aid worth hundreds of millions of pounds, including thousands of anti-tank missiles, air defence systems, and armoured vehicles.
