The US administration will send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a $400 million deal.
This was announced (US President Joe Biden on January 25 at a briefing at the White House).
We start training as soon as possible. It takes time to put these tanks on the fields. During this time, we must make sure that the Ukrainians are fully prepared for their defense. Chancellor Scholz is talking about Leopard 2 tanks. These will be two battalions for Ukraine. This speech was made after a statement from Berlin to unblock the supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, Biden said.
Biden already spoke on the phone with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy and Britain on Wednesday as part of coordinating support for Ukraine.
Russia expected us to disintegrate, but we are completely united. Ukraine is trying to defend its territories and launch a counteroffensive. They need the ability to fight back against Russian forces in the short term,” the US president said.
Biden reminded that the world is approaching the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But the world is approaching this date resolutely and united, because it is a struggle for the freedom of Ukraine and the world.
France, Poland, Canada, Slovakia and other countries say they will help Ukraine protect the sky. Other countries also provide defense assistance.
Putin expected that there would be discord in Europe, but together with our allies we are providing 3,000 artillery systems, more than 2 million ammunition, missile defense and air defense systems in order to repel his aggression, Biden said and added: May God protect the Ukrainian military.
