The TV channel reported that discussions have been going on for "several weeks"LONDON, January 9th.

/tass/. For the first time since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the United Kingdom is considering the possibility of supplying Kiev with up to 10 British Challenger 2 main battle tanks, Sky News reported on Monday, citing a source.

According to him, such discussions have been going on for "several weeks", but the final decision has not yet been made by the Government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom did not confirm or deny this information.

On January 5, the head of the British Foreign Ministry, James Cleverley, told reporters that the UK, together with its allies, is working on the issue of transferring tanks to Ukraine. According to him, tanks "may well be part of" Western military assistance to Kiev, which takes into account what the AFU needs most. At the same time, he added that the question of "which of the allies will provide them" requires close coordination between NATO members.

On January 6, the United States announced the allocation of another package of military assistance to Ukraine in excess of $ 3 billion. The package, in particular, will include Bradley tracked infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and self-propelled howitzers. Prior to that, Germany stated that it intends to supply the Marder BMP to the Kiev authorities, and France is going to send AMX-10 RC wheeled tanks to Ukraine. According to the newspaper La Repubblica, the United States is seeking from Rome the transfer of SAMP-T anti-aircraft missile systems to Kiev.
