Rishi Sunak at a meeting with Zelensky said Britain would train 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers and send Challenger tanks soon.
We are training the Ukrainians, we are giving you the necessary weapons so that you can fight back against Russian forces, and we are also trying to speed up the supply of weapons so that they reach Ukraine as quickly as possible in a few days, a few weeks, but not in a few months. Ukraine needs Challenger tanks as early as next month so that it can defend itself,” Sunak said.
