President Joe Biden has announced that the first Abrams tanks will be delivered to Ukraine next week as part of a new $325 million military assistance package to enhance Kiev’s security.
In a statement on Thursday, President Joe Biden confirmed that the first Abrams tanks would be delivered to Ukraine “next week.” This announcement comes in the context of ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as concerns about security in the region.
The Abrams tanks, considered one of the best battle tanks in the world, are a significant acquisition for Ukraine as it seeks to strengthen its defense capability. This delivery aims to enhance Ukraine’s ability to address any potential threats in a context where security concerns persist in eastern Ukraine, particularly in the Donbas region.
In addition to the tank delivery, Joe Biden also announced the approval of a new tranche of military assistance for Ukraine, valued at approximately $325 million. This assistance is intended to support the Ukrainian armed forces in their efforts to maintain stability and security in the country. It will likely include a range of military equipment, supplies, and training to bolster Ukraine’s capacity to address potential threats.
