Early evening summary
Rishi Sunak has said that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to supplying Ukraine with military equipment, including fighter jets. He made the comment at a press conference this evening hours after Boris Johnson said the UK should supply Ukraine with some of its jets now. At his joint press conference with Sunak, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president, said he heard “the desire to provide fighter jets” from Sunak when they spoke in private. There is further coverage of Zelenskiy’s visit on our Ukraine live blog.
A controversial and long-awaited report that claimed the government’s Prevent counter-terrorism programme needed to concentrate more on Islamist extremism has been severely criticised as “deeply prejudiced” and having “no legitimacy”.
One of the Russians targeted by UK sanctions on Wednesday to mark Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s visit to London is Vladimir Putin’s alleged former lover, Svetlana Krivonogikh.

Zelenskiy says he heard 'desire to provide fighter jets' from Sunak
Q: Boris Johnson says there is no reason why you should not get jets. What are western leaders saying to you about why they cannot give you jets?
Zelenskiy says he heard from Sunak “the desire to provide fighter jets”.
With Typhoons, it does not just depend on what the UK agrees, he says. (See 2.54pm.)
He also says Ukrainian pilots have already trained for two-and-a-half years – implying they should be qualified to fly Nato planes soon.
And that’s it. The press conference is over.
