Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has requested 300 tanks to help push back Russia’s invasion forces. It comes after the United Kingdom promised to deliver 14 of its own Challenger 2 tanks last week. The moves, announced by President Joe Biden and Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday, will see Washington deploy 31 Abrams tanks while Berlin will supply Kyiv with 14 German-made Leopard 2 units at first. The United States and Germany have pledged to send state-of-the-art battle tanks to Ukraine, paving the way for several of its European allies to follow suit.
