The new offensive of the Russian Federation is inevitable, so Ukraine needs American tanks M1 Abrams - media

At the same time, Americans do not want to provoke too much Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Washington asks if the tanks will be considered a red line. About it reports Sky News. In early January, the United States announced the largest military assistance package to Ukraine, where they were included: this list lacks only the tanks so necessary for the Ukrainian army to win the war and reject the Russians outside the country, and not just restrain the front line.

Washington's representatives express different considerations on why Biden's administration cannot simply convey several tanks to show the example of Germany and expand the Armed Forces arsenal at least a few M1 Abrams. American politicians may see some strategic opportunity to reduce reserves and tire the Russian army and Putin personally through a protracted war. The other day, the CIA Director William Burns visited Kyiv, where he met with representatives of the Ukrainian leadership.

In addition to the tanks, Putin's possible plans for the new offensive in the next few weeks and months were discussed. A year ago, American intelligence accurately predicted a large -scale invasion of Russian troops, which Americans have repeatedly warned the Ukrainian leadership. Many doubted whether Putin would go to this step, but he still began a great war.

Now the new Russian offensive is inevitable, which is why the Ukrainians who are on the front line say they need as many tanks as possible. The Ukrainian leadership is concerned that the West is tired of war in Ukraine. And among the Republicans on the Capitol hill grows dissatisfaction with what they call an uncontrolled and endless flow of weapons into Ukraine. Recall that in the case of request from Kiev, the Netherlands will consider the possibility of supplying fighters F-16.
