germany may do the same. also several top ukrainian officials resign or dismissed over accusations of corruption in the biggest government shakeup since the war began. ah ha, ha ha robin, you're watching out there. alive. we're headquarters here in doha also coming up anti government demonstrators in peru remain defiant. despite calls from the president for a truce. and new zealand labor leader, chris hipkins is officially sworn in as the new prime minister after the shock resignation of just into arden and mr. wang, are you with us? i am paying attention to the multi verse fan to see that scooped the most oscar nominations a sheer, including one the best actress. for

weeks, ukraine has been pleading its west and allies, the battle tanks to bolster its campaign against russia. and now keith appears set to receive some of the most advanced vehicles in the world from the u. s. and germany. sources have told al jazeera that the biden ministration will approve the delivery of m one abrams tanks. as soon as wednesday, the u. s. president has yet to make a formal decision, but the tanks could take months or even years to reach the front lines. ukraine's preserved lot of his lensky says, his country needs decisions on a real deliveries. for washington d. c. his patty co. haines. a source in the us government is confirmed to me that they are close to finalize in deal and providing us made m one abrams tanks to ukraine. now of course, a lot of things can change of different international players are involved in these sort of discussions and decision. but the source did say that they expect that it could be a note from the white house on wednesday. this comes after weeks of top military

brass saying all the reasons why it wouldn't work to help you crane get these tanks right now. they say things like, the 4 person crew that operate to take these are very modern machines. they need a lot of training, but the bigger factor is they need even more maintenance to keep these. again, very complicated, but powerful takes running. they said that would in fact take time. there were some complaints that the u. s. uses jet fuel to power. these one a rooms, but in reality they can in fact run on diesel. so they were asked about this is the pentagon today, why? say all the reasons why it wouldn't be immediate and then potentially make this announcement. and they responded by saying, we're also looking at helping ukraine over the medium and long term that seems to indicate that they don't expect if these tanks are in fact sent to ukraine, that they will be on the battlefield anytime soon. again, they need to find the source, are they going to try to build them here in the united states, or try to use that money to pay other countries to give up there and want to abrams

tanks? so again, it seems that if a deal is in fact made, if it isn't announced, it is not going to be on the battlefield anytime soon. and that's what the top military brought from us has really been focusing on, is what they see as a very short turnaround to the upcoming spring offensive. gemini is also expected to decide soon on whether to authorize the export of one of the world's most advanced pattern. thanks to you. crane. the german media is reporting that chance the show says already decided to send pressures been building on belinda supply leopard to tanks and allow other countries to transfer. there's poland formerly requested permission on tuesday. so when it came reports though, from berlin, this is the weapon system, the ukranian president says his country needs to fight the russians. the german made leopard 2 main battle tank. see here during a nato exercise, in lithuania, it's both heavier and faster than many of the tanks. russia is using in ukraine and

widely used by other european countries. several of whom now want to re export them to key. if to end the conflict, we need to army crime. so being aquinas able to defend itself and turn russia is not able to push through with this a gender of imperialism and still incur territory. on tuesday. the polls formerly asked germany to allow them to do just that. the view from nato is clear, while anti aircraft weapons and missiles can defend against air attack and armored personnel carriers can transport troops to the fighting. the strategic value of heavy armor to punch through the front lines is clear. battle things are, of course important or both to be able to repel a russian, a new offensive, but also for ukraine to be able to retake territory to, to when answer or prevail as a sovereign in the pants nation in europe. but there is another angle to a decision by germany to release the leopard twos. some believe it could lead to an

escalation in the war and to a worsening of relations between berlin and moscow. a kremlin spokespersons said on tuesday, they are all ready at a low point, and that is the problem facing olaf shots. the legacy of the 2nd world war hangs heavy on german governments. tanks like these help the ussr defeat nazi germany. and yet, 80 years later, it's modern german tanks that might help defeat russia in ukraine. dominant cane al jazeera at the soviet war memorial in berlin regiment. alice is a senior research fellow at the german council on foreign relations. he thinks the delivery of german tanks will be a significant breakthrough for ukraine on the battlefield. well, i think it's no understatement to say that it hasn't been easy in the last last couple of weeks. and particularly in the last week, since the ramstein meeting, where the decision was expected to be taken, that allies would fall into line and agreed to deliver as part of

a coalition that would have involved germany, allowing other countries to export the tanks that it sold to them, which really wasn't no brainer from the beginning, but also that it should have joined at that point to provide its own tanks. when that didn't happen, the frustration became clear and there's been briefings from both sides from washington. it was said that jack sullivan read the riot act to his counterparts in, in berlin. berlin denied this, but what i can think we can see now is that both sides have seen sense and actually done. the best thing for ukraine, which is also in both countries, best interest because ukraine winning this war and winning it decisively and russia being seen to lose is in the interest of all democratic countries. and so i'm glad that sense has prevailed over pride, and that we even may see the abrams tanks, as well as the leopards on the plains of your crime. several top ukrainian officials, including governors, have lost their jobs and corruptions candles,
