Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has compared the brutal conflict in Ukraine with the misery of the First World War.
Speaking after talks with his Australian counterpart in Portsmouth, the Cabinet Minister likened the fighting with Russia to the 1914-18 Great War.
Amid mounting pressure on the West to supply Kyiv with fighter jets, Mr Wallace warned that even if the UK agreed to send British warplanes “tomorrow” it would take “months” to train Ukrainian pilots to fly them.
