In particular, he noted that the UK has delivered 184,000 more artillery rounds than initially planned.
However, Wallace acknowledged that there were fewer deliveries of certain equipment than expected.
“While in a small number of areas we have delivered less than anticipated … we have exceeded plans in critical capability areas such as artillery, responding with agility to Ukraine’s priorities and developments on the battlefield,” he said.
“For example, we have delivered over 15 times the quantity of artillery ammunition originally planned.”
Wallace earlier stated that Russia is "much more fragile" than it seems, and that a victory for Ukraine in the war is entirely possible.
