LONDON - Britain said on Monday it had begun supplying Ukraine with anti-tank weapons to help it defend itself from a potential invasion, during a stand-off with Russia which has massed troops near

the Ukrainian border.

He did not specify the number or type of weapons that were being sent, but said:"They are not strategic weapons and pose no threat to Russia. They are to use in self-defence." "The current gap is wide but not unbridgeable," Mr Wallace said, voicing the hope that diplomacy would prevail and adding,"It is President Putin's choice."The Canadian special operations presence is part of an attempt by Nato allies to deter Russian aggression in Ukraine, and to identify ways to assist the Ukrainian government, Canada's Global News reported on Monday, citing unspecified sources.

Canada, which has the world's third-largest Ukrainian population after Ukraine and Russia, has maintained a 200-strong training mission in western Ukraine since 2015.
