Britain Stepping Up Weapons Production To Help Ukraine Push Back Russian Forces | Russia Ukraine War Britain has begun to warm up its production lines to replace weapons sent to Ukraine and increase production of artillery shells to try to help Kyiv push back Russian forces, defence minister Ben Wallace said on Wednesday (February 22). In an interview with Reuters in southwest England where officers are training Ukrainian crews on Challenger-2 tanks, Wallace said he believed Britain was in a good place to help Ukraine but needed to sustain the provision of weapons. Fighting remains fierce in eastern Ukraine, where Russia wants to establish control over the whole of the industrial Donbas area after seizing swathes of territory there but Kyiv said it needs more Western weapons to be able to push them back. #britain #russiaukrainewar #englishnewslive #cnnnews18live #news18live n18oc_world
