The United States of America must transfer at least one M1 Abrams tank to Ukraine.
Such a decision by the White House could create a domino effect to force other countries, including Germany, to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, Michael McCall, head of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, said, Politico reports.
According to him, the American side should take the first step to push the countries of Europe and help Ukraine avoid a protracted and bloody war of attrition.
If we announce that we are going to give at least one Abrams tank, this will lead to … As I heard, Germany expects us to take the lead. Even if we say that we will supply Abrams tanks, I think this is enough for Germany to start acting, the congressman said.
Recall that on January 20, within the framework of the Ramstein meeting, no decision was made on tanks for Ukraine. In Berlin, they said that the parties failed to agree on the transfer of Leopard 2 tanks, because there is no consensus among the partners.
