As we’ve been reporting, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky gave a press conference a little earlier at a British Army base in Dorset.

It marks the end of Zelensky’s hectic surprise visit to the UK – only his second trip away from his country since Russia invaded in February last year.

Here are the key takeaways:

• Military aid: Sunak said “nothing was off the table” when it comes to military aid for Ukraine, and fighter jets were “part of the conversation”. Zelensky warned that supplies were running out, and without fighter jets or longer-range missiles there was a risk of “stagnation” in his country’s fight against Russia

• Equipment: The PM said that his government was accelerating the delivery of military equipment to ensure it reaches Ukraine within weeks – not months or years
• Typhoon jets: Asked if he is prepared to send some of the UK’s Typhoon jets to Ukraine, Sunak said they were “very sophisticated pieces of kit” and it could take “three years” to train a pilot to fly one. He added that there was a “supply chain around the aircraft” but the UK and Ukraine are “having that conversation”
• Training: About 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have travelled to the UK for military training, and dozens more arrived a few days ago to learn how to operate Challenger 2 tanks. The PM said the Challenger tanks will be on the battlefield in a matter of weeks
