April 6 – Britain plans to send armored vehicles to Ukraine, according to The Times.
Options being considered at the Department of Defense include sending in a protected patrol vehicle like the Mastiff or a vehicle like the Jackal that can be used as a reconnaissance or long-range patrol vehicle, the report said.
The vehicles would be stripped of sensitive equipment and British troops would be sent to a country neighboring Ukraine for training, The Times reported, citing a defense source.
Britain will announce further support, including anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, in the coming days, the report said.
