Defence minister makes clear ordinary Britons should not travel to Ukraine to fight Russian invaders
Ben Wallace, the UK defence secretary, has effectively contradicted foreign secretary Liz Truss’s assertion that Britons should be able to join the fight in Ukraine, saying this was primarily for Ukrainian nationals and that people without military experience should stay away.
While not directly criticising the comments on Sunday by the foreign secretary, Wallace made it plain the government did not believe ordinary Britons should try to travel to Ukraine to help fight against Russian invaders.
