London is in a dilemma to confirm or deny the sending of “Apache” helicopters to Ukraine.
According to Rashatudi, the British government denied the claim of the “Sunday People” magazine about the supply of “Apache AH-64” attack helicopters to Ukraine and emphasized that it will only send tanks and artillery guns to Kiev.
The “Sunday People” magazine, which shares a website with the “Mirror” magazine, claimed yesterday (Sunday) in a report that was later deleted, that sending US-made helicopters could be a “huge trump card” for the Ukrainian forces, especially at a time when they Recently, the city of “Soledar”, which is very important from a strategic point of view, was handed over to the Russian forces.
This publication quoted the British “senior defense official” and wrote that “now other NATO member countries will follow this procedure and send their helicopters to Ukraine.”
However, the British Ministry of Defense called the report “wrong” in an interview with Sky News.
Although the Ukrainian army will not receive Apaches, the UK is still willing to send a squadron of 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Kiev. Also, sending the AS-90 artillery is also on the agenda of the British government.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s office confirmed the shipment of the military equipment on Saturday, and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace is expected to announce the details of the military aid package today.
