British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has decided to send a squadron of advanced Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, a breakthrough for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s appeals for heavy NATO-style tanks.
“In 2023, the international community will not let Russia wait us out while inflicting terrible suffering on Ukrainian civilians,” British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told Parliament. “The international community recognizes that equipping Ukraine to push Russia out of its territory is as important as equipping them to defend what they already have.”
"The special military operation will continue,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday in response to the British decision. “These tanks burn well and will burn just like all the others. The goals of the special military operation will be achieved.” Zelensky’s expectations align with independent Western analysis of Putin’s path forward in the conflict.
Putin tapped Russian Army Gen. Valery Gerasimov, the chief of staff of the Russian military, as the top commander of the invading forces last week.
