Western battle tanks arrive in Ukraine to aid in war effort.

Germany and Britain have delivered Leopard and Challenger battle tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles, Cougar armoured trucks, and Stryker armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine, providing much-needed ground support as Russian forces intensify attacks in the east of the country. As Ukraine gains conventional firepower, Russia vowed to follow through on a plan announced by President Vladimir Putin to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus. Ukrainian crews, who have been training to use the Challenger 2, are now ready to deploy to the front line.
