British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday that Germany and other NATO allies’ decision to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine was the “right decision”.
The UK prime minister expressed this thought in a tweet.
“The right decision by NATO Allies and friends to send main battle tanks to Ukraine. Alongside Challenger 2s, they will strengthen Ukraine’s defensive firepower.
“Together, we are accelerating our efforts to ensure Ukraine wins this war and secures a lasting peace,” Mr Sunak said on Twitter.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced his government’s decision to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine on Wednesday.
Other NATO nations such as Norway were also preparing to supply similar tanks for Ukraine’s defence against Russian aggression.
