BRUSSELS, Jan 18 — The European Union’s chairman today spoke in favour of the West providing tanks to Ukraine to help it face off against Russia’s invasion.

"For nearly one year, Russia has pursued a strategy of destruction, a strategy of terror, trying to bomb the Ukrainian people into submission,” said European Council President Charles Michel.”But Ukrainians are resisting.”

"We, the EU, will continue to support them for as long as it takes. The time is now, they urgently need more equipment and I am personally in favour of supplying tanks to Ukraine.” — Reuters
