RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany: Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced on Tuesday in Germany that Ukraine will receive M1 Abrams tanks from the United States in the near future. Earlier this year, Washington had made a commitment to provide these tanks to Kyiv, as part of a comprehensive security assistance package exceeding $43 billion pledged by the United States following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
“I am delighted to inform you that the M1 Abrams tanks, which the United States had previously promised, will be delivered to Ukraine in the near future,” Austin stated during the inauguration of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group.
