Britain may be supplying Ukraine with Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) for the first time to help Kiev fight Russian forces, Sky News reported, citing unnamed sources.

Providing Kiev with tanks would be a major boost in Western support for Ukraine, but the British government has yet to make a final decision on the matter, according to Sky News.
