Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 5.07pm post, "
Supporting Ukraine is a 'worldwide commitment', Biden says...( POTUS states ) " "Today I'm announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion" he says. "
Lets Get Real:
This has been expected since last night, 31 Abrams Tanks will take some time to learn, the Germans tanks are closer and will be easier to learn for the Ukraine Soldiers. One should expect more Countries to join in sending tanks to the Ukraine, as already announced, the UK is sending its Challenger 2 tanks, the Poles have stated they will send tanks. The President of the Ukraine has stated he needs around 300 tanks, he might not get that much, but close to enough to help the Ukraine forces push back the expected Russian offensive after the winter. The next issue on the agenda will be fighter jets, the Ukraine Air Force and Drone operators have shown great skill and courage in opposition to the Russian Air Force. The Russians have thrown a fit over the tanks, as expected, but they do not actually do anything as with previous threats, one assumes the Bidne Oval has told them, if they go nuclear or WMD then all bets are off and NATO would come it, also the Russians get their supplies from North Korea and Iran, China from reports is keeping a low profile, it does not want to be associated with a defeat if the Ukraine wins. Thus what will Putin do, one is sure the question is being asked in Putin's Kremlin right now!
