Daily Mail: Sunak's refusal to increase defense spending caused controversy in Britain

It is reported by the Daily Mail.

It is noted that this decision of the Prime Minister of Britain has caused deep concern among some high-ranking officers and members of Parliament.

In their opinion, the supply of arms to Kyiv made Britain "weaker".

“We must see an increase in our hard power, otherwise our soft power will be undermined, ultimately we may lose our leading place in the UN,” Tobias Ellwood, head of the House of Commons Defense Committee, was quoted as saying.

Earlier, Rishi Sunak informed President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the start of training of Ukrainian tank crews in the UK.

It was also reported that Britain was concerned about the weakening of the army due to military assistance to Ukraine.
