  • Debris from a missile strike on western Ukraine has also been found in neighbouring Moldova
  • Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed the government will provide Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine in a call with Volodymyr Zelensky
  • Thanking the UK, Ukraine’s president said the Challenger 2s both strengthen them on the battlefield and ”send the right signal” to other allies
