The New York Times: Περισσότερα τανκς φτάνουν στην Ουκρανία

More tanks arrive in Ukraine
Ukraine has begun receiving the bulk of the advanced battle tanks promised by Germany and Britain. The highly anticipated deliveries come as Ukraine prepares for an expected spring offensive.
The German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks are more advanced than the Soviet-era tanks that Ukraine has relied on so far. Germany has used them for decades. So have more than a dozen other European countries. Poland, which had prodded its allies to give Ukraine more advanced equipment, had already given Leopards to Ukraine.
The Challenger tanks from Britain arrived, too, Ukraine’s defense minister said. He said on Facebook that he had ridden in a new Challenger and compared it to a Rolls-Royce. In January, Britain promised 14 Challenger 2 tanks, in an effort to persuade other countries to follow suit.
Context: Western allies initially declined to give Ukraine the more powerful equipment, fearing that it could escalate the conflict.
What’s next: The first round of Abrams tanks from the U.S. are expected to arrive this fall.
