The best way to protect the Ukrainian skies is “anti-aircraft weapons,” which the UK is now supplying, Liz Truss said.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary was questioned by the BBC’s Sarah Smith about renewed calls for a no-fly zone from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following the bombing of a children’s hospital in Mariupol on Wednesday.
Ms Truss said the attack was “absolutely heinous, ruthless and appalling” and that Britain was at the forefront of delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
She was speaking at a press conference in Washington DC alongside US Secretary of State Antony Blinken after the two held talks.
Ukraine has repeatedly called for the establishment of a no-fly zone, but NATO countries said this would escalate the conflict.
