The U.S. will for the first time send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to help Ukraine defend against the ongoing Russian invasion, President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday.
This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates as more information becomes available.
That number of tanks is the equivalent of a Ukrainian tank battalion, he said.
“Ukrainians are fighting an age-old battle against aggression and domination,” Biden said. “It’s a battle Americans have fought proudly time and again, and it’s a battle we’re going to make sure the Ukrainians are well-equipped to fight, as well.”
The announcement came as Germany confirmed it’s sending its own Leopard 2 tanks into the war following “months of debate” over the latest escalation in weaponry, as reported by CNN.
