LONDON - Britain is weighing whether to send a small number of tanks to Ukraine, a move that would reverse the West’s nearly yearlong resistance to deploying some of its mightiest firepower against Russia.
Those tanks are not compatible with the size of ammunition that is used in most Nato states, leaving Ukraine constantly on the hunt for more munitions. The move follows pledges by other Western powers to give Kyiv heavy armoured fighting vehicles. The country’s foreign minister, Mr Dmytro Kuleba, over the weekend welcomed such pledges as a sign that “the time of weapons taboo has passed.”
The Ukrainian ambassador to London said in an interview on Tuesday that the number of tanks that Britain was considering fell far short of what was needed. “A dozen tanks is not enough – we need hundreds,” Ambassador Vadym Prystaiko said in an interview with a British news show, LBC’s “Tonight with Andrew Marr.”
