UK-donated tanks used in Ukraine's Russia incursion, BBC told | BBC News

UK-donated Challenger 2 tanks have been used by Ukraine as part of its surprise incursion into Russia, a UK source has confirmed.

The Ministry of Defence is not officially commenting on what specific UK weapons are being used by Ukraine.

However, following Kyiv's incursion into Russian territory the department reiterated that Ukraine had "a clear right" to use UK-supplied weapons for "self defence against Russia's illegal attacks".

The UK is one of the biggest donors of military aid to Ukraine, behind the US and Germany.

They came to Ukraine for war not for storage.

UK sent 14 tanks to Ukraine. Thanks a bunch of course. But why do the news channels make it sound like it was 1400…

The key word here is “donated”. Meaning, they’re no longer British anymore.

[josephrubalema]

But the UK government is clear on the use of donated tanks. So why make this report in the first place?

They have right to counter-attack. Period.

British tanks donated Ukraine is no longer British tanks. Great job Ukraine for showing that Russia is not a super power in the world. At this point Russia had a lot of land area, but now Russia has less land in their own country.

"which includes attacks inside Russia" yet Ukraine is still not allowed to freely use long range weapons...

250 American Sherman tanks were used by the Russians against the Germans in the battle of Kursk WW2....Call it even....

Lots of failed Indian phone scammers in this comment section 😂😂😂

[chrisofnottingham]

Why is it that the BBC correspondent says it is slowing down rather than it has been an amazing success? They never seem to have anything positive to say about Ukraine.
