In its material, the publication quotes US Army spokesman Colonel Martin O’Donnell. According to him, the specified armored vehicles will go to Kyiv after repairs in Germany. This will happen around mid-September.
As for the rest of the 21 Abrams promised by the Pentagon to Kyiv, the department finds it difficult to name their delivery dates.
“Ukraine is due to receive the first 10 of 31 promised Abrams tanks in mid-September… Western officials hope the arrival of the tanks will give Kiev forces the advantage they need to break through the fierce Russian defenses in their grueling counter-offensive,” the newspaper writes.
In addition, it is noted that more than 200 Ukrainian military personnel have successfully completed training on M1 Abrams tanks at NATO bases in Germany.
