Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Kuleba announces Britain will send Challenger tanks and other aid to Ukraine

He made the statement in a post on Facebook.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that the day of the Ukrainian President's visit to the UK would be useful for the Ukrainian Defense Forces: the Armed Forces will soon receive Challenger tanks and other assistance.

"I was honored to use the services of the Royal Air Force. Soon, this or a similar aircraft will fly to Ukraine to deliver Challenger tanks and other extremely harmful things for the Russian occupier. And for Ukraine and its defense forces, today will be a very useful day. Very, very useful," the minister said.

• On Wednesday, February 8, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the British parliament, where he called for a coalition of aircraft, calling them "wings for freedom."
