Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address the British Parliament on Wednesday in a surprise visit that comes as Britain has pledged to train Ukrainian fighter pilots.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s office on Wednesday also announced plans for boosting military support, including training Ukrainian fighter pilots and marines.
“As part of today’s talks, the Prime Minister will offer to bolster the U.K.’s training offer for Ukrainian troops, including expanding it to fighter jet pilots to ensure Ukraine can defend its skies well into the future,” Downing Street said in a statement.
“Since 2014, the U.K. has provided vital training to Ukrainian forces, allowing them to defend their country, protect their sovereignty and fight for their territory. “I am proud that today we will expand that training from soldiers to marines and fighter jet pilots, ensuring Ukraine has a military able to defend its interests well into the future.”
Downing Street also said that Britain will announce further sanctions on Wednesday that will target “those who have helped Putin build his personal wealth, and companies who are profiting from the Kremlin’s war machine.”
