Ukraine has received lightweight anti-tank defensive weapons systems from the UK as part of international technical assistance, the country’s Defense Ministry said late Tuesday.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoliy Petrenko said the weapons will only be used for defense purposes, the ministry said in a statement.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said Monday that his country would provide Ukraine with more defensive weapons and military training in the face of the threat of invasion by Russia.
"We have taken a decision to supply Ukraine with light anti-tank defense weapons systems,” said Wallace.
“A small number of British personnel will provide early-stage training for a short period of time within the framework of Operation Orbital before then returning to the United Kingdom," he added.
