UK Defense Minister John Healey has announced his resignation, citing disagreements with the government's defense funding policy. According to Healey, opposition leader Keir Starmer and the Ministry of Finance were unable to provide the necessary funding to strengthen the UK's defense.

This move comes as the UK government continues to provide significant financial and military aid to Ukraine amid the conflict in Donbas.
