Ukraine: The UK steps up - 120 armored troop carriers & anti-ship missiles

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2022/apr/09/russia-ukraine-war-latest-zelenskiy-calls-for-firm-global-response-to-war-at-kramatorsk-train-station-live#block-6251c4008f081f653cd8c80b

Ukraine has been pleading for these. Germany put Bundestag authorized troop carriers on hold - looking for NATO command approval.

Boris 'ain't my cup of tea', to say the least, but I applaud him for stepping up to the plate.

Slava Ukraini!

I'd like to see Biden provide them with some crazy stuff as well. Anti-ship and Cruise missiles to hit back would be very useful.

More offensive armor, instead of troop carriers, would be nice.

troop carriers are critical in both defense and offense.
