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.
