Ousted Ukrainian Defence Minister Blames UK and Allied Bureaucracy for Weapons Delays

Mykhailo Fedorov, sacked as Ukraine's defence minister in July, says bureaucracy in the UK and other donor nations is delaying promised military equipment deliveries. He expressed gratitude for Britain's £16bn in weapons but urged partners to fund Ukraine's domestic drone production directly instead of sending outdated surplus. The UK confirmed last week that British-made drones have struck Russian targets.
