UK may supply tanks to Ukraine to fight Russia
The UK is considering supplying Ukraine with British battle tanks for the first time to fight Russia's invading forces, Sky News understands.
The talks have been taking place "for a few weeks" about delivering a number of British Army's Challenger 2 main battle tank to the Ukrainian armed forces.
Such a move would mark a significant step-up in Western support to Ukraine and could help prompt other NATO allies, in particular Germany, to follow suit.

Sir Keir Starmer backs Sky's Westminster Accounts project
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has told Sky News there needs to be more transparency around how politicians earn money outside of their jobs as MPs.
His comments came in response to Westminster Accounts, a Sky News-Tortoise Media project which shows the flows of money into Westminster.
Since the last election MPs have earned more than £17m from second jobs with around two-thirds of the money going to just 20 politicians.
All of this work is legal.

Sir Keir Starmer defends Shadow Foreign Secretary earning £200,000 from second jobs
Sir Keir Starmer has defended Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy earning £200,000 from second jobs this parliament - but said the rules need to be stricter.
Sky News and Tortoise Media have brought together all MPs' earnings from second jobs and donations into one database for the first time.
Mr Lammy is one of only two Labour MPs in the top 20 earners and he has declared income from more than 40 different sources - the most of any MP - totalling £202,599 since this parliament started in December 2019.

'We all welcome transparency,' says Tory minister over Westminster Accounts
Conservative MP Maria Caulfield has offered her reaction to Sky's Westminster Accounts project on Sophy Ridge on Sunday.
The Health Minister, who works as a nurse, said: "Of course, we all welcome the transparency. It is very clear we all have to declare any outside interests, any outside earnings, so people can go onto the parliament website and look for themselves as well.
"But I think what was important during the expenses scandal was to try and end professional politicians just being the only route in to being an MP.
"So you are seeing people coming into Westminster with outside interests. I'm a nurse, I still work as a nurse, I declare those earnings on my website.
"Cross-party we have doctors who work in the Labour Party. I think it's important people are able to keep their interests in that sort of field going."
