West to send more lethal aid to Ukraine, UK defence minister says
The Guardian says Britain’s defence secretary has said western nations have agreed to send armoured vehicles and long-range artillery to Ukraine, at a special donor conference attended by more than 35 countries, including the US.
Ben Wallace, who convened the event, said there would be “more lethal aid going into Ukraine” but that it would not include tanks or some of the other more deadly weapons that Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, had asked for in the past week.
He said Ukraine needed longer-range artillery to counter Russian attacks on the its cities, including Mariupol in the south, which has been subjected to relentless shelling.
