Britain is sending helicopters to Ukraine, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has said, the first piloted aircraft to be sent by the United Kingdom since the war began. Three former British military Sea Kings will be provided and the first has already arrived, the BBC reported. In the last six weeks, Ukrainian crews were trained in the United Kingdom to fly and maintain the aircraft to provide search-and-rescue capabilities. Wallace said Britain would also send an additional 10,000 artillery rounds. He made the announcement from Oslo, where he is meeting allies to discuss ongoing military support for Kyiv.
