BREAKING: The US has confirmed it will send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in its continued support of Ukraine in its war against Russia
US President Joe Biden is giving a news conference from the White House after it was confirmed that the US would send Abrams tanks to Ukraine.
"The Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world and they're also extremely complex to operate and maintain. "Today's announcement that the US is going to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine is very much a continuation of our effort to provide Ukraine with the capabilities that they need to continue to better defend themselves," a senior administration official said.
Mr Reznikov said they discussed"further strengthening of , including tank supplies and maintenance of the new armament." Taking a look at Russia's hold over the country on 19 August last year it is possible to see that Russian forces had control of large swathes of land in the east.However, a map of the land today shows Ukraine has reclaimed territory in the east and south.
At 7pm, live on Sky News, a panel of experts including retired Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell will answer your questions on the war in Ukraine following Germany's decision to supply tanks.On 5 January, the Kremlin said Vladimir Putin had ordered a 36-hour ceasefire over the Orthodox Christmas period after a call for a Christmas truce from Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church .
The calling for a ceasefire was also"no coincidence", Ms Ferris goes on to say, as Mr Putin's election campaign is set to begin this year and all eyes will be on him and his party - United Russia. Looking back at how the announcement of the ceasefire was made, Ms Ferris also notes that it first came from Patriarch Kirill and then Mr Putin endorsed it and therefore it put"religion front and centre of this war".
