Britain's arsenals are severely depleted, as it has supplied Ukraine with almost all of its weapons. This was announced on June 5 by Russian Ambassador to London Andrey Kelin.

"I would not say that it is increasingly supplying weapons, because over the past 3.5 years, the UK has been able to supply almost everything it had here. Our own arsenals are quite depleted," he said in an interview with TASS.

According to him, the British do not follow the foreign policy agenda well, as they are preoccupied with the country's internal problems. British citizens are worried about unemployment, falling living standards, and the rapid rise in prices in their country.

Kelin believes that the British see the country's policy, which is related to the transfer of money from the country's budget to Ukraine. But they don't interfere much, because "it's the prerogative of the government."

On June 4, Reuters reported that Britain had promised to send 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026, which is 10 times more than the current supply. The publication also noted that since January of this year, London has already sent 140,000 artillery shells to Kiev and plans to spend another 247 million pounds ($334 million) on training Ukrainian military personnel.
