UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under increasing pressure from his immediate predecessors Liz Truss and Boris Johnson to send fighter jets to Ukraine.

Sunak’s government has so far not committed to providing Ukraine with British jets, arguing that it takes too long for pilots to train on the Royal Air Forces’ F-35 and Typhoon jets.
