It will take some time to deliver the American tanks, because they are complex vehicles, said Victoria Nuland.
The United States will not have time to deliver Abrams tanks to Ukraine before the proposed spring offensive begins. This was announced on Thursday, January 26, by US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland at a hearing in Congress.
“The Abrams, as you know, are very complex tanks. They require serious training. Even if we approved their transfer yesterday, it will take time to deliver them to the battlefield. This is not something that will come out for in the spring offensive,” the American official explained. .
He also answered a question from one of the senators as to why the White House only now approved the delivery of the tanks. According to him, Washington is guided by the demands of Kyiv itself.
“At each stage, we looked at what the Ukrainians needed, what they asked for. In the fall, there was a time when they got a large number of Russian tanks on the battlefield, which they successfully used during offensives in the Kherson and Kharkov regions, but now they need more. We responded,” Nuland said.
The media previously reported that the United States intends to transfer Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of the next military aid package. The cost of the new military aid package could be $400 million.
