Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to the West to supply fighter jets and longer-range missiles as he vowed to use modern tanks as a “fist of freedom” against Vladimir Putin’s war.
He praised America, Germany and other allies for following Britain’s lead in supplying battle tanks ahead of expected spring offensives by his forces and Russia. “We must form a tank fist, a fist of freedom whose hits will not let tyranny stand up again,” Mr Zelensky, said in his overnight address.
