British ex-prime minister Boris Johnson also spoke up in the tank debate. “Ukrainians need hundreds of tanks and they should get them from Americans, Germans, Poles and many others,” Johnson wrote in a guest post for the Daily Mail. “Where does the western world have to station these tanks at the moment? To guard North Rhine-Westphalia? To protect Tennessee? To roam the villages of Wiltshire?”
“To their immense frustration,” the Ukrainians might not attack sufficiently with the weapons they had received so far, writes the conservative politician, who paid a surprise visit to President Zelenskyy in Ukraine at the weekend. The country needs planes to attack targets from the air and armored vehicles and tanks to retake territory, Johnson said.
