The announcement came as Russia unleashed a sickening barrage of missiles on Ukraine which killed 28 people, according to the Ukrainian government and reported by the BBC.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps wrote on X: “The UK is moving rapidly to bolster Ukraine’s air defence, in the wake of Putin’s murderous air strikes.

“Hundreds of British made air defence missiles are being sent to ensure @Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself from Putin’s barbaric bombardment.”
