 to provide fighter jets for the Ukrainians. Can you offer absolute clarity here and now? Will they get them? And if so, when? Thanks Rohit for the question. Why don't I start and then I'll do that for a moment. So first of all, we've been very clear and we've been clear for a long time that when it comes to the provision of military assistance to Ukraine, nothing is off the table and that's because we're determined to ensure that Vladimir the President and his people can be victorious against Russian aggression. And we've backed up that rhetoric with action. Last year behind the United States, we were the single largest donor of military equipment to Ukraine. And we said that we would match or exceed that amount almost two and a half billion pounds again this year. And you saw when it came to the provision of main battle tanks, we were the first G7 nation I announced that weeks ago, something that President and I had discussed previously. It was important in order to ensure that Ukraine can make progress on the battlefield. And I think we helped lead an international conversation which led to many other countries following us and providing main battle tanks to Ukraine. So when it comes to fighter combat aircraft, of course, they are part of the conversation. Indeed, we've been discussing that today and have been previously. And that's why we've announced today that we will be training Ukrainian Air Force on NATO standard platforms because the first step in being able to provide advanced aircrafts is to have soldiers or aviators that are capable of using them. That is a process that takes some time. We've started that process today. That's because we're keen to support the President and his country in delivering a victory. And nothing is off the table. And our leadership on this issue is something that we all collectively should be very proud of. And I know that the President is grateful for. Thank you very much. Thank you for your question. With regard to the equipment, with the equipment that we need, of course, there's a lot of equipment we need and a lot of different equipment. It all depends on the situation, depends on the situation on the battlefield, on the day, kind of in the military direction, but also depends on what's happening within the country. You know how we are fighting against the Iranian drones. You know, there are hundreds and thousands of them. And we are fighting against them by various means. And that includes also our ballistic missiles because these unmanned vehicles, these Iranian drones, they hit civilians for infrastructure, educational infrastructure, hospitals, schools, civilians, you know, because they are trying to threaten Ukrainians, but they're trying to make them flee. But Ukrainians are not going to flee because that is why when we talk about this, we do need air defense systems. And we are grateful to everyone who is providing them. And that also when we have those systems that allows people to go to work and work and once we once people work, obviously, this money, they all not just go to for pensions or other social welfare, but also this also goes to support our warriors. That's why it's very important that we have everything needed to support people in their jobs. And when we talk about the battlefield, what are our priorities? Of course, armored vehicles, you know, we know that our enemy has got thousands units of armored vehicles, you know, back from the back from the Soviet Union heritage. And of course, NATO armored vehicles, they are the best. And yet there are only a few of them, you know, when you only have 10 NATO armored vehicles against 1000 of Soviet armored vehicles. Well, what are the chances, you know, and we have no way out. We have to stand firm. We need armored vehicles. We need tankers. We need flight jets. And obviously, we've spent a lot of time talking about this together. And you've just heard what Mr. Prime Minister has already mentioned even today and tomorrow, we will be meeting with the EU leaders and discussing this issues and also longer range missiles. That's our priority. And I'm very grateful that Britain has finally heard us in that regard. And I do hope that other countries will also hear us when it comes to a longer range missiles, you know, because we do need to push back the Russians so people can just live. And as to the offensive, you know, what can I say? Frankly, we live in the state of war. What can I say here? We cannot be just thinking about the offensive. The offensive has never happened. You know, it's just been a different kind of intensity. So all we need to think is that let us make Russians think about Ukrainian counter offensive. Okay. They need to be thinking about this. They need to be thinking how they should be leaving our territory. That's all I would like to share with you. Thank you. Next call on BBC Ukraine. Greetings, Mr. President. I would really like to hug you, but I'm not allowed to. Why not? Please do give me a hug, you know. You, Mr. Sunak, I, you know that Ukrainian soldiers, they are dying every day. Don't you think that that decision about warplanes is taking too long? And yeah, and the other question is what are your steps to clear the reputation of London as a city that is still laundering Russian money? Thank you. So I think you heard from the president's previous answer, Natalia, about the very immediate needs and that's air defense and long range missiles. And that's the conversation that we've been having most recently about how can we provide air defense to protect the Ukrainian population. That has been the thing that we've talked about probably most in all of our conversations, which is why we've provided thousands of surface to air missiles and air defense systems and will continue to do so and more are coming over the next few weeks. And as the president said, probably the most crucial capability right here and now is main battle tanks, which we led on, but also those long range missiles that I think that in all the talking that we've done in the planning for how we can have decisive victory on the battlefield and make progress, it requires long range missiles, which currently the range is not there. And again, that's the conversation that we've been having. And again, we hope that Britain can lead. But when it comes to protecting soldiers, we feel very acutely the tragedy and the hardship that your country and your countrymen are going through. And we've both had the privilege of meeting some of them today. I've met some of them in the past and their bravery is inspiring. It's awe inspiring to see as I have the ordinary citizens, young men and women who are fighting to defend their country and being trained to do so here. And they go with not just our wishes and our training, but they go with our full support with all the equipment that we can continue to provide them and will continue to do so. But rest assured, we are here with you, with your people and continue to provide you with whatever we can to ensure their safety and indeed their success. And with regard to sanctions, I think we've as you as you saw at the beginning of this conflict, I used to be the finance minister and we put in place, as the President talked about earlier today, probably the most extensive and forward leading sanctions package of any country at the beginning of this conflict to demonstrate very clearly that Russia's aggression was unacceptable and we would punish them in every which way we could. We've announced further sanctions today, but continually when it comes to sanctions, we have, I think, led. And you remember the conversations we had on things like Swift and Banks right at the beginning of this conflict. Again, it was Britain that led the way in pushing for very strict sanctions. And as I said, we've announced further today and wherever we can continue to tighten them and do more, we will look to do so as we have done today. Next, can we go to Sky News, please? Thank you, Dominic Waghorn, Sky News. Prime Minister, if I could ask you, first of all, it does seem to have been a lag between Ukraine asking for more sophisticated weaponry and it eventually being given. They asked for more advanced artillery. It was eventually sent. They've asked for tanks and they will be sent eventually. They now want fighter jets and we're training their pilots, but we're not sending the jets. Your predecessor, one of your predecessors, a close friend of President Zelensky, has wondered why we're not doing more. Why not send more so they can finish off the job now? What is holding the West back? Why is there that lag? Mr. President, good to see you again. If I could ask you about fighter jets, how urgently do you need them? And what does it mean for your country if you don't get them? So, I mean, I'll take that as the first question. And again, I probably see the notion of the question because I think we have continually led actually in the UK with the provision of equipment to Ukraine and whether it was right at the beginning with anti-tank missiles, whether as you heard from the President the importance of armored vehicles, I think we've sent hundreds, whether it's artillery guns. Again, in the next few weeks, a new set of batteries of our artillery guns will arrive, tanks we've already talked about, and we're training combat aircraft for the first time. Indeed, actually something that we should have probably been doing a long time ago, because we have a long standing training relationship with Ukraine that predates the war. But that is something as we look forward, we'll want to continue to do more of, as we want to make sure that the Ukrainian armed forces are trained on NATO standard equipment, and there's greater interoperability between Ukraine and NATO, which is very much something that we've been discussing. So I think actually we've continued to be on the forward leading edge of it, and we're providing things as quickly as we can. The challenge of tanks are going to be on the battlefield, as I said, in a matter of weeks. I mean, you've seen the Ukrainian soldiers being trained on them as fast as we can, and we're providing them as fast as we can, and we know that they will make a difference. And I think the President would tell you, you know, we've been having conversations for the few months that I've had this job, and relatively rapidly after we discuss, we galvanized others to respond to. That's what we have done. And that's what we'll continue to do. Thank you. Thank you very much. And I would like to be honest with you here. In the history of this war, there are several pages and one of these pages are in fact active in sections. It may be in this war. It's been a very special section for for our worries and also Great Britain providing equipment. And here we're talking about German lines as well. And then our people had to rise up and they had to fight with what they had, you know, we are not, we're not doing any self beating here. Okay, what they had their way doing and we were just grateful to for whatever we were getting. And then we turned another page, you know, and then we turned into where we all turned into fury, because Russians were just killing and murdering people and they were raping people and we were ready to have anything and use any kind of weapons just to destroy them. And then we turned another page artillery, you know, we needed artillery. We, we needed to work in a different direction. And this is exactly where we received some help and support. For example, in certain places, obviously Great Britain helped us a lot. But when it comes to high Mars, we got a lot of help from the US. And we are really grateful to them for this page in the history of war. That I think it's very important to understand that Russia has no pity for their own people that just keep on throwing their people into the battlefield, you know, worse, we have pity. And we protect our people, we would not throw them just onto the battlefield. We needed to prepare them. And that that kind of marked a different stage in the war. And now we've come to kind of this stagnation phase. You've just asked me what would happen if we don't get this fighter jet or the longer range missiles, or we don't have enough ammunition or because everything obviously is, you know, running out and coming out of maintenance. If you don't have this 185 artillery, you know, there will be stagnation. These people will be coming and be living on our territory. And this will pose great risk to all of the world, because they've just now they've captured a nuclear station, and they just live there, you know, the and this kind of risk will be everywhere because they are terrorists that. And so without the weapons that we are discussing now and the weapons that we just discussed with Rishi earlier today and how Britain is going to help us, you know, all of this is very important. Without this, there will be stagnation, stagnation, which will not bring to anything good. Thank you. Next we have Inter. Good evening, Mr. Prime Minister. I will come and see you after the press conference, because I would like to get a hug as well. Okay, so you've already summarized. You've already summarized your day today. And yet I am very interested in your personal impressions, you know, obviously, you've hardly spent even a handful of days outside of Ukraine, you know, in a different country, just under the peaceful sky. So what are your personal impressions? And what threatens me back at home? You know, yes, this is my second visit outside of Ukraine after the beginning of the Russian invasion. And you know, what I had to do two important things. And first of all, I had to express our deep gratitude, deep gratitude of all the Ukrainian people to the people of Great Britain, to the government of Great Britain, to everyone who had been helping us to keep our land, to make sure that we don't lose it, because this is our land, which is dear to us. And I think it's amazing that Great Britain has been so active in this fight. And truly, I am grateful. We should not be forgetting everything what we've gone through all of this months, at any point, we could have lost our independence. And yet, and yet, all of that time, we haven't had battalions, unfortunately, battalions of friends and allies, but yet we had a very strong unit of friends, partners, allies and Great Britain has, has stood as our ally and friend here. And I also would like to say that whatever we can do, you know, we should be doing and this is what we are trying to do. We are trying to remember who has been with us from the very first day of the war, you know, because we will get this victory, but it just doesn't happen overnight. And, you know, warriors, partners, people, those are the key, kind of the key. How would I put it? Probably, you know, those are the key aspects that helped us to be strong and to push back the enemy, yet the war has not ended. And then there is another reason why, why I'm here with this visit. And that's the heavy artillery. And that's why I'm here, you know, I'm here again. We have to do what we can do. We have to come and we talk, we have to talk openly. We have to be frank. I'm the president of the country, which is fighting now for the independence. And that's why I have to do everything possible to make sure that our partners give everything they can to strengthen us on the battlefield. So those are just two reasons, you know, gratitude and weapons. Although yes, London is a very beautiful city. It's a shame I don't have time for this. And lastly, Harry, the son. Thank you, Prime Minister. You say that Britain led the world rightly on training Ukrainian troops on providing arms and you yourself on tanks. That does seem to be a medicine to break ranks with the Western Allies on jets. Are you personally willing as Prime Minister if you can to send Ukraine some of our typhoon fleet? And Mr President on behalf of millions of Sun readers, I'd just like to say welcome and start with Ukraine. Boris Johnson says there's no conceivable reason for Britain and the West not to send you jets. What are the reasons that they're telling you privately? And are those reasons credible? Thank you very much, both. Thanks. So I think you're totally wrong to say that there's been any. Actually, we were the first G7 country to provide main battle tanks. We were also the first country to provide serious arms to Ukraine at the beginning, and we have genuinely led other countries in that something we should all be very proud of. And when it comes to the quantum of our support, second only to the United States last year and again, a commitment to provide the same or more this year. And then there's also as well as the things that we provide, there's also the and I think the president would attest to this, the very close cooperation and engagement between our teams as to how that Ukraine can be successful with all the support and training as you're seeing here, but also the help that we provide across the board. So I don't think there's been any resistance at all actually. And we've probably been the most forward leaning country and trying to bring about the Ukrainian victory in this conflict. And that's why as Prime Minister, we decided to change our strategy to accelerate and intensify the amount of support that we give Ukraine so that we can bring about more decisive victory in a sooner period of time. And that's why we made the decision to provide tax. And with regard to aircraft, as I said, we've already said nothing is off the table. And the first step on that has to be to have people who can fly what are very sophisticated pieces of kit. I mean, from start, if you take someone who's brand new for a fighter jet, as as we would also say, it takes three years. And obviously, that's not what we're working with, because Ukraine has existing fighter pilots. But we do need to make sure that they can operate the aircraft that they could potentially be using. But also there's a supply chain around such sophisticated aircraft. Those are the conversations that the president and I having and making sure that we understand all the supply chain needs that go along alongside aircraft like that, making sure that they can be used and used safely and kept safely. So we're having that conversation. And it's also conversation we are having with our allies because particularly some of the aircraft that we have are done through joint treaty with multiple other countries. And I think we've seen that with previous bits of kit that others have had to give for aircraft. That is something that we are we are also involved in because we have, as I said, there are other allies involved in the provision of those bits of equipment. And as the president said, he's on his way to Europe after this to pick up this conversation with our partners and allies over there. But where we can throughout this conflict, we have been nothing but out in front and proud proudly so. And I know the difference that it's making. And I know the president is grateful for it. And that's what we will continue to do. Truly, truly, I am grateful. And again, even today, once again, I heard from Mr. Prime Minister the desire to provide fighter jets and officially he declared that we they can begin training our pilots. And again, not also when it comes to typhoons, not everything depends just on the decision of Great Britain. And I will be working in that direction. Because again, this is how we are changing and how we have been able to change many things. We are intensifying our diplomacy. And I do believe just within a day, we will be able to meet with a dozen of EU leaders. And then we'll go back home because it's this is obviously very important. We obviously all of this conversations, they have to be taking place quickly. And again, when it comes to typhoon, you know, I didn't even I didn't even know that it takes three years to train pilot like that, you know, come on, we will be sending you pilots who've already trained for two and a half years, you know, of it is the conversation we're having on long range missiles, where again, the conversation that we're having is one that is, I think, out in front of other allies about making sure Ukraine has the longer range capabilities that it needs at this phase of the battle. And that's a very productive conversation that that we're having today as well. Good. Fantastic. Well, thank you very much for your questions.
