Russia ‘losing slowly’, Ben Wallace tells troops

Russia is “losing slowly” in the war against Ukraine, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace told Ukrainian troops training with British forces on Wednesday.

Mr Wallace was visiting the soldiers – who are training at Lydd Army Camp in Kent as part of Operation Interflex – with Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

He said Britain was stepping up its support for Ukrainian soldiers as gruelling winter conditions take hold, including the delivery of a further 12,000 extreme cold-weather sleeping kits.

In a statement ahead of the visit he said: “With winter fast approaching, this equipment will ensure that the armed forces of Ukraine are able to operate effectively through the next few months…

“It demonstrates our commitment to making sure that the basic Ukrainian soldier is well trained, well equipped and given the best possible chance to fight and determine their own future.”
