If British forces were at war with Russia they would run out of ammunition in "two weeks", according to the Chair of the Defence Committee.

Talking to Forces News, Tobias Ellwood MP said that the UK has gifted so much equipment to Ukraine that it would have a "shortfall" of its own if it was to tackle Russia itself.

"The amount of ammunition that Ukraine is expending, if we went to war, we'd run out in two weeks," Mr Ellwood said.
