These are either 14 or 28 tanks – in January, Wallace confirmed that his country would transfer 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine, but Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom Vadym Prystaiko stated that Ukraine would receive twice as many Challenger 2 tanks from the British government as it had initially promised.

According to Wallace, aside from the tanks, Ukraine has also received Spartan armored personnel carriers and other armored vehicles.
