PEACE campaigners have condemned Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s pledge to supply hundreds of thousands of rounds of bullets to Ukraine in the new year. 

Mr Sunak said the £250 million package will “ensure a constant flow of critical artillery ammunition to Ukraine throughout 2023.” 

The announcement came as Mr Sunak flew to Latvia today to meet with his Nordic, Baltic and Dutch counterparts at a summit of the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force.
