BERLIN, Sept 19 — Ukraine will soon receive M1 Abrams tanks from the United States as Kyiv’s forces steadily advance in their counter-offensive against Moscow’s troops, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said today.
“I’m... pleased to announce that the M1 Abrams tanks that the United States had previously committed to will be entering Ukraine soon,” Austin said at the opening of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group. Zelensky arrived in the United States yesterday, visiting wounded Ukrainian troops at a hospital ahead of his UN address, which he will make as the country’s forces push ahead with a slow-moving, high-stakes counter-offensive to wrest back territory from Russian forces.Ukraine’s limited progress against entrenched Russian positions has spurred debate among Kyiv’s Western allies over its military strategy.
A senior US defence official said ahead of the meeting that the gathering provided an opportunity “to hear from minister Umerov himself what his vision is, what his priority is”. As Kyiv reported that its air defence systems had downed 27 Shahed drones launched overnight in Russia’s latest aerial barrage, Austin in Ramstein urged allies to “continue to dig deep” on such systems for Ukraine as they are “saving lives”.
