ANTI-WAR campaigners slammed today government plans to pour yet more weapons into the war in Ukraine, warning it would be “disastrous for the people of Europe and the world.”

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky to his country mansion at Chequers in Buckinghamshire and promised him hundreds more missiles, pilotless warplanes and drones with a range of more than 200 kilometres (124 miles).

Mr Sunak said Britain would be “training Ukrainian citizens to be absolutely combat-ready aircraft pilots” with knowledge of Nato tactics.
