The first British tank destroyed in action
A video shared on social networks shows for the first time a British Challenger 2 tank used by the Ukrainian army destroyed. According to the Guardian, which cites “Western sources,” the tank “first hit a Russian mine on Monday, which blew up a rear fuel compartment, immobilizing it. The crew was then safely evacuated. He was then allegedly hit by a drone. According to the British daily, this loss took place in the Zaporijjia region. He adds that “no Challenger 2 has ever been lost in combat since its first deployment in 1994”, apart from one copy “destroyed during friendly fire in Iraq in 2003”. Britain gave 14 Challengers 2 to Ukraine.

London to put Wagner on its list of terrorist organizations
UK to add Russian paramilitary group Wagner to list of terrorist organizations affirms the Daily Mail quoting Interior Minister Suella Braverman. “Wagner is a violent and destructive organization that acted as a foreign military tool for Vladimir Putin’s Russia,” she said. “While Putin’s regime decides what to do with the monster it created, Wagner’s persistent destabilizing activities only continue to serve the Kremlin’s political goals,” she adds.
The UK Home Secretary has the power to ‘outlaw’ an organization she believes is involved in acts of terrorism. This “proscription”, which already applies in particular to the Islamic State group and the jihadist organization Al-Qaeda, makes it a criminal offense to support the organization in question. “Wagner was implicated in barbaric looting, torture and murder,” continues Suella Braverman in the Daily Mail. “This is why we proscribe this terrorist organization and we continue to help Ukraine as much as possible in its fight once morest Russia”, adds the minister, for whom Wagner is also “a threat to world security”.
