U.S. Abrams Tanks Reach Ukraine

Handout photo dated May 11, 2016 shows U.S. Soldiers, assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division, move to their battle position in a M1 Abrams tank during the Strong Europe Tank Challenge in Grafenwoehr, Germany. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the arrival of the tanks on the Telegram messaging app: "Good news from Minister (of Defense Rustem) Umerov. Abrams are already in Ukraine and are being prepared to reinforce our brigades." He did not specify the number of tanks that have been delivered. They are the first of 31 M1 Abrams tanks promised by the Biden administration, and come months ahead of initial estimates. They join tanks already deployed by NATO partners, including German-made Leopards and Britain's Challengers, which arrived last spring. Photo by U.S. Army via ABACAPRESS.COM
