Germany has announced it plans to send at least 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, after months of pleas from Kyiv. Germany also said it would soon allow other European countries to send their own Leopard tanks. The U.S. is also expected to announce today it will deliver Abrams tanks to Ukraine, though that process could take months. The heavy tanks could prove to be a major turning point in Ukraine’s fight against Russia, which is approaching its one-year mark next month. Moscow has warned such a move would be seen as a direct provocation.
