British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said it was no longer enough to supply Ukraine with just defensive weapons to fight the Russian invasion, according to Reuters.
“For too long, there has been a false distinction between defensive and offensive weapons. This has been a reason for some to procrastinate and not do it. That time has passed, “Trus said in parliament today.
The UK initially limited arms supplies to those classified as defense, but is now talking about expanding the weapons it supplies and using its military stockpiles to allow other countries, such as Poland, to supply tanks directly to Ukraine.
Earlier today, Germany announced for the first time that it would directly supply heavy weapons to Ukraine, BTA reminds.
