   Mr Johnson highlighted the Nlaw and Javelin anti-tank systems and   
   Starstreak anti-air missiles which the UK has already supplied to Ukraine,   
   as well as protective helmets and body armour. But BBC Security   
   Correspondent Frank Gardner said supplying Kyiv with anti-ship missiles   
   could be a step too far.   
      
   Speaking to BBC News, Mr Gardner said: "Boris Johnson has been suggesting   
   that Britain should supply anti-ship missiles to help defend Odesa.   
      
   "These are missiles that have a range of about 130km to hit or at least   
   deter Russian warships from pounding Odesa from the sea.   
      
   "I just wonder how President Putin is going to react.   
      
   "If a British-made missile sunk a Russian warship that would probably be   
   seen in Moscow as an act of war.   
      
   "If they start supplying big weapons platforms like tanks, warplanes, and   
   anti-ship missiles then we're into a different paradigm and we don't know   
   how Moscow is going to react."
