The UK will provide tanks to Ukraine to help Kyiv's forces 'push Russian troops back'
Following the announcement, Mr Zelenskyy tweeted: "Always strong support of the UK is now impenetrable and ready for challenges.
"In a conversation with the Prime Minister, I thanked for the decisions that will not only strengthen us on the battlefield, but also send the right signal to other partners."John Healey said: "Modern tanks are crucial to Ukraine's efforts to win its battle against Russian aggression."But ministers must move beyond ad hoc announcements and set out a plan for military, economic and diplomatic support through 2023 and beyond.
"As the first anniversary of Russia's invasion approaches, this will help reassure Ukrainians that Britain will stand with them for as long as it takes and signal to Putin that things will get worse not better for Russia." It comes after Western officials warned Ukraine would not be able to take back significant territory from Russia without an increase in fighting power.
The US has already promised 50 Bradley tank-killing armoured vehicles in its biggest military assistance package to date for Ukraine.
