He said: “We should look to bring it to a conclusion quickly, the conclusion has to be Ukrainian victory. And that dictates therefore that we need to intensify our support at this point in time, while Russia has been on the back foot.” Cleverly is visiting the US and Canada after Britain became the first country to meet Ukraine’s request for western heavy tanks.European countries have previously supplied Kyiv with modernised versions of Soviet tanks and the US and France have committed to lighter versions, with Washington sending Bradley armoured vehicles. Cleverly joined the UK defence secretary, Ben Wallace, in calling for Germany to permit the supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
