The UK will send more weapons to Ukraine to help it defend against Russia's invasion, the Defence Secretary has said.

Ben Wallace announced that more multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) will be sent to the eastern European nation, as well as precision guided M31A1 missiles which can strike targets up to 50 miles away, designed to defend against Russian heavy artillery.
