UK 'looking at' Poland tanks deal

in ukraine •  3 years ago 

Earlier, we brought you the news that the UK is sending Challenger 2 tanks to Poland to backfill for Soviet-era T-72 tanks that Warsaw will send to Ukraine.

The UK's Ministry of Defence has now rowed back slightly on the plans - confirming it was "looking at" sending tanks to Poland.

These are exactly the same words Prime Minister Boris Johnson used when he mentioned the plan during a press conference in New Delhi this morning.

Johnson added the UK was "also looking more at what we can do to backfill in countries such as Poland who may want to send heavier weaponry to defend the Ukrainians".

We are expecting more information later from Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.
