UK armored cars delivered to Ukraine
British Saxon armored cars
London - MENA
Former British military Saxon armored vehicles have been delivered to Ukraine by a private firm, the BBC reported Saturday.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed those were out-of-service unarmed vehicles and not lethal equipment.
The vehicles were transferred under a 2013 deal that pre-dated the current conflict.
A Ukrainian news agency has reported that 20 British Saxon armored cars have been delivered to Ukraine, with another 55 expected to arrive soon.
The MoD could not confirm these figures.
A MoD spokeswoman said the delivery did not represent an escalation of British involvement in Ukraine.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
