Read our privacy policy British Challenger 2 tanks are thought to have been used in Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia. But the MoD has said Ukraine has a “clear right” to use weapons donated by the UK for its self-defence, and “that does not preclude operations inside Russia”. The policy means anti-tank missiles, artillery, armoured vehicles and other weapons donated by the UK to Kyiv’s war effort could soon be seen on the battlefield in Russia. Ukrainian troops appear to be gaining more territory within the Kursk region in recent days while other neighbouring Russian states along Ukraine’s border have declared a state of emergency in response.
