But as the supply of Storm Shadow cruise missiles illustrates, capability that was once off the table can become acceptable to donate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine\u2019s president told reporters after the talks at Chequers that the issue was a \u201cvery important topic for us because we can\u2019t control the sky. &#8230; I think you will hear important decisions in the closest time, but we have to work a bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British government has pledged to \u201cadapt the program used by U.K. pilots to provide Ukrainians with piloting skills they can apply to different kinds of aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training could begin later this summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">British military training, including that for elementary and basic flights, is largely provided by the Lockheed Martin-led Ascent joint venture, which also includes Babcock International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelenskyy\u2019s talks in the U.K. follow visits to Italy, France and Germany over the last few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian officials pledged open-ended military and financial support as well as stronger backing for Ukraine\u2019s cherished aim to join the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Premier Giorgia Meloni, who staunchly supports military aid for Ukraine, said Italy would back the country \u201c360 degrees for all the time necessary and beyond.\u201d Since the war began, Italy has contributed about \u20ac1 billion (U.S. $1.1 billion) in military and financial aid, as well as humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France promised to supply dozens of light tanks, armored vehicles and more air defense systems \u201cin the weeks ahead,\u201d without giving specific numbers. About 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers would also receive training in France this year and nearly 4,000 others in Poland as part of a wider European effort, according to the office of the French president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/05\/14\/military-honors-for-ukrainian-president-as-he-visits-germany\/\"
