"The UK will remain steadfast in supporting Ukraine and its people to defend itself...it is important for the Kremlin to also know that we are not going away. We are here for the long term," Sunak said/
His spokesman said Britain had no plans to send fighter jets to Ukraine, but the country will start to train Ukrainian pilots this summer.
