Joe Biden has officially announced that the US will send no less than 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine to help the country deal with the constant attacks being launched by Russia, joining dozens of Leopard 2 tanks that various European countries, led by Germany, have announced that they will send them.
Joe Biden announces this decision in the context in which Ukraine has so far fought with Russia using its outdated tanks, clearly inferior to those of Western production, and with what it will receive now, it could have a real advantage over the Russians in many of the battles which are to be given on the front.
"The Biden administration has approved sending 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine as international reluctance to send tanks to the frontline against the Russians begins to erode. By agreeing to send the Abrams, the US is able to meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's request for an American commitment, but without having to send the tanks immediately.
Today's announcement shows that the United States and Europe continue to work hand in hand to support Ukraine, united in our shared values and our continued support for Ukraine, which the President and other leaders, including in the G7 format, have reiterated will continue for a long time. as needed."
