A UK source has confirmed that Challenger 2 tanks donated by the UK have been utilized by Ukraine during its surprise incursion into Russian territory, signaling an aggressive tactical shift in the ongoing conflict.
The UK Ministry of Defence emphasized that, while it doesn't comment on specific weapon usage, Ukraine has a 'clear right' to use UK-supplied weapons for self-defense and can conduct operations inside Russia as part of that.
During his July visit to the UK, President Zelensky urged British leaders to work with allies to 'remove the limits' on Ukraine's use of weapons, advocating for long-range capabilities to pressure Russia towards peace.
UK Defence Secretary John Healey noted that rigorous discussions about weapon usage are taking place, although he refrained from providing detailed information, indicating sensitive negotiations regarding military support for Ukraine.
