British Foreign Secretary Liz Trace has called on Western countries to provide tanks and planes to Ukraine, as well as to give up Russian gas.

APA reports that this was stated in an excerpt from the minister's speech at an event.

"We must be ready for the long term and double our support for Ukraine.

"We need to review the heavy weapons, tanks and planes in our reserves and increase production," Tras said.

The diplomat also said that the West should not only increase pressure on Russia, but also refuse to import oil and gas from this country.
