"They (Challenger 2 tanks, — ed.) are already in Ukraine," Zolotary said, without providing other details.

On Tuesday morning, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov published a video of British tanks in Ukraine.

It was a pleasure to take the first Ukrainian Challenger 2 MBT for a spin.
Such tanks, supplied by the United Kingdom, have recently arrived in our country.
These fantastic machines will soon begin their combat missions.
Thank you, @RishiSunak, @BWallaceMP, and the 🇬🇧 people. pic.twitter.com/zoCRmKdBnN

Earlier on Monday, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, said that together with the paratroopers, he had the honor of "running in new additions to our armored units" — Challenger from Britain, Stryker & Cougar from the United States, and Marder from Germany.

Reznikov highly appreciated the British tanks, calling them works of "military art".

"After personally "piloting" the Challenger as a participant in trophy raids, I can say that even a Rolls Royce driver will not be as comfortable as the crew of this piece of off-road martial art," the minister noted.

As the EP reported, a group of Ukrainian military returned to Ukraine after completing training in Britain on Challenger 2 tanks.
