Britain’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who last month announced he would step down in the next U.K. government cabinet reshuffle, has resigned, the prime minister’s office said on August 31.
In a letter to Mr. Wallace, 53, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak praised the “dedication and skill” he brought to the role that saw him take a leading role in Western allies’ support for Ukraine against Russia.
