>Hours after that interview was published, Sunak said there were no immediate plans to send British troops to Ukraine.
>"What the defence secretary was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in Ukraine," Sunak told reporters at the start of the governing Conservative Party's annual conference in Manchester.
>"But that's something for the long term, not the here and now. There are no British soldiers that will be sent to fight in the current conflict."
