Britain plans to send 600 Brimstone missiles to Ukraine to support the country in its fight against Russia, Ben Wallace has said.

The Defence Secretary said: "I can say we're also going to send another 600 Brimstone missiles into theatre which will be incredibly important in helping Ukraine dominate the battlefield."

Last week the UK announced it would send 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine, making it the first Western power to supply the country with main battle tanks.

Speaking from the Tapa army base in Estonia, he said Western unity against Putin's invasion remained strong and that allies were "in it for the long haul".

He added: "If President Putin is banking on us getting bored this year, he's wrong. We will plan for this year and next year and the year after and beyond."
