US joins Germany in sending battle tanks to Ukraine

  • last year
Germany and the US will send tanks to Ukraine in the first stage of a co-ordinated effort by the west to provide more modern armour to boost Kiev’s firepower against Russia. Germany had initially been reluctant to allow its Leopard-2 tanks to be sent to the frontline and the decision marks the first time German tanks will be used on a battlefield in Europe since the Second World War.
