Russia- Ukraine War: Germany will continue to support Ukraine, Britain's pressure on Germany to give tanks to Ukraine

Britain, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have requested Germany to send tanks to Ukraine. These countries have made this request after the meeting of the allied countries on Friday failed to reach an agreement on sending tanks to Ukraine.

Germany's Defense Minister will visit Ukraine

Ukraine has said that if the lives of Ukrainian citizens are to be saved from the attacks of the Russian army, then it is necessary to give tanks to its army. Meanwhile, a close aide of the Russian President has warned that if tanks are given to the Ukrainian army and they attack Russian citizens, the world will be in havoc. Germany's newly appointed Defense Minister Boris Pistorius may soon visit Ukraine amid the impasse over tank supplies. 

Former UK PM visits Kyiv

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson went to Kyiv on Sunday to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and assured full support in the ongoing war with Russia. While fierce fighting continues in Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Sumy regions of Ukraine. The Russian army is continuously firing at these places to move forward. 

Sunak talked to Zelensky

Britain has extended its hand to help Kyiv. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently said that Challenger 2 tanks and other artillery systems would be sent to Ukraine. A statement from Sunak's Downing Street office said the British prime minister had taken the decision after talking to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The statement, however, did not specify when and how many tanks would be supplied. British media reported that 4 Challenger 2 tanks would be sent to Eastern Europe with immediate effect and 8 more tanks would be supplied soon.
