00:08In an effort to rebuild Kiev's arsenal and close the gap, away from full reliance on Washington,
00:15London has stepped into the crisis with a major initiative through the Nightfall project to develop a tactical ballistic missile.
00:23The missile is ground-launched, carries a 200-kilogram warhead, and has a range exceeding 500 kilometers.
00:34Nightfall is Britain's first project of its kind in the field of tactical ballistic missiles.
00:40It is receiving limited technical support from the United States and could help rebalance offensive capabilities between the two sides.
00:49However, Britain's limited defense experience and reliance on small stockpiles raise questions about London's ability to deliver a meaningful technical contribution beyond financial support.
01:03Amid current developments, a European trend is taking shape to deploy a multinational force in Ukraine following any potential ceasefire.
01:13Under the Reassurance Initiative, led by France and Britain, with the backing of more than 20 countries,
01:21London has stood out by allocating £200 million for preparatory measures.
