Rishi donates 14 tanks to break Russian stalemate

BRITAIN is to donate 14 of its main battle tanks to Ukraine in a “gear change” aimed at breaking the stalemate with Russia.

Confirming the move to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, Rishi Sunak said it was aimed at “delivering rapidly the kind of support which will allow Ukraine to press their advantage, win this war and secure a lasting peace”.

The Challenger 2 tanks will be taken from their current deployment in Poland, the Sunday Express understands, and will be joined by 30 AS-90 artillery systems. Coming six weeks before the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it represents a huge strategic shift in Britain’s posture over the war.
