UK long-range artillery firing at Russian forces

Kyiv is using American HIMARS, British M270 MLRS and German Howitzer 2000s to destroy Russian fuel depots and supply lines way beyond the frontline.

Ccommanders in Ukraine have said the weapons have helped “stabilise the situation” through “major strikes at enemy command points, ammunition and fuel storage warehouses”.

Russian military chiefs are so concerned about the weapons they have ordered their forces to focus on finding and destroying Kyiv’s Westernsupplied rockets and artillery.

Trained

Dozens of Ukrainian troops were trained in how to use the British weapons on Salisbury Plain last month before they returned to continue defending their homeland.

Mr Wallace has told the Daily Express the British artillery “is now in place and it has been used in the last few days”.
