U.S. and Germany ready to send tanks to Ukraine

January 25, 2023 - After months of reluctance, the U.S. and Germany reportedly plan to send tanks to Ukraine, in what Kyiv hopes will be a game-changer on the battlefield.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the decision to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks – and allow other countries to send theirs too – at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is also expected to announce plans to send at least 30 M1 Abrams tanks.
