US poised to send dozens of Abrams tanks to Ukraine in reversal – report

Decision comes just days after Washington argued against sending the Abrams despite demands from Kyiv

The United States, in a reversal, appears to be poised to start a process that would eventually send dozens of M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine, two US officials told Reuters on Tuesday.

Such a decision by the United States would come just days after Washington argued against sending the Abrams, despite demands from Kyiv and public pressure from Berlin as it faced calls to send German-made Leopard battle tanks.
