British Foreign Secretary calls on Western countries to send tanks, planes to Ukraine

"We are very clear it is completely legitimate to be supporting Ukraine with tanks, with planes and we're very supportive of the work that the Czech Republic has done sending tanks to Ukraine," Truss told a news conference in Prague, Reuters reports.

In April, the Czech Republic became the first NATO member state to announce the provision of tanks to Ukraine. Now the country is the first to announce the provision of combat helicopters to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Czech Republic and Slovakia are currently repairing dozens of armored vehicles sent from Ukraine.
