BRITAIN is enabling Ukraine's push into Russia with a round-the-clock rollout of munitions and small arms, sources say.
It follows reports that UK tanks were used in the biggest invasion on Russian soil since the Second World War an invasion that enters its 13th day today.
And on Friday Moscow's foreign ministry said Ukraine had used Western rockets to hit a Seym river bridge in the Kursk region.
Britain became the first nation to supply Kyiv with Western-made Main Battle Tanks when former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged 14 Challenger 2s last year.
It is also providing munitions, small arms and complex weapons systems for the effort, which has caught Moscow off-guard and boosted Volodymyr Zelensky's leverage.
