berlin will also allow of european countries to deliver the german made combat vehicles from their own arsenals. the kremlin has dismissed their deliveries as disastrous and costly and says they'll go up in flames. your crimes commanders and the analysts say they will need $300.00 western tanks to make a difference on the battlefield. and what has corresponding kimberly, hulk, it begins our coverage. after days of deliberation, u. s. president joe biden made the announcement ukraine has long hoped for today. armina the united states will be shown in $31.00. abram turned to ukraine. the equivalent of one new crowning battalion, according to the pentagon, it'll take months, not weeks to get the tanks to the battlefield widened, says he made the decision after securing similar commitments from the leaders of france, the u. k. ad following germany's decision wednesday to send leopard 2 tanks to

ukraine. russian officials have already denounced this latest move as an escalation . something biden was quick to counter today's announcement. bills on the hard work and commitment from countries round the world, but by the united states of america to help ukraine defenders sovereign news, territorial integrity. that's what this is about. helping ukraine to fan, to protect you. crazy land is not an offensive threat to russia. the move marks a major policy reversal for bided overriding the advice of u. s. generals who resisted sending the maintenance heavy machines. the abrams have been in use for a half century and rushes aware of the tanks vulnerabilities. since february, the u. s. provided ukraine with more than 27000000000 and security assistance, the white house insists issues of training and logistics,

including getting the jet fuel needed to operate the abrams tags to the battlefield could be overcome through training. it remains to be seen how well the ukrainians will be able to absorb this hardware and use it. it may take at least a quite a while before they they can do a day before it has an impact on the battlefield. still, president biden insist the addition of the abrams tanks will make a strategic difference as ukrainian forces rapid to defend territory in expected spring counter offensive. kimberly help hit al jazeera, the white house, and that announcement came just to hours after germany finally said it would send those tanks to ukraine following wakes of intense pressure from allies. dominic cane wraps developments from berlin. the letter too, is one of the most widely used tanks in europe, manufactured in germany,

but exported around the continent. it is the weapon system. the ukrainian government believes it needs to fight russia and for weeks ministers and key if have called on ministers in berlin to allow them to use the leopards in their country. now that coal has been answered, 14 german tax will be sent to him. crane and other european countries will also be allowed to send this from the seal. our goal is to quickly make 2 tank battalions available together with our allies for, but there are a lot of countries which would also like to contribute in the deliveries. and we will coordinate and ensure that it becomes possible step by step the i'm but seen, the chancellor says he understands many germans aren't deeply concerned by his decision. but at least for the european countries already said, they are prepared to use their leopard tools to help you crane you're ready to participate in one or another way. those. there are many ways to do it because we know that her, her, the slope of the issue or so need training for the drivers for the maintenance and

so forth. it need spare parts. it needs the whole ecosystem of the gilbert tanks and be we will consider what is the best part for us here at the russian embassy in berlin. the reaction has been quick and condemning. the ambassador says that germany has abandoned its historical responsibility to russia, brought about by nazi crimes during world war 2, calling the decision extremely dangerous. he says it takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation. and yet, some analysts believe that with russia reportedly building up its forces for a spring offensive, germany felt there was no alternative to allowing leopard two's to be sent to ukraine. every one, all the military experts are expecting that russia is preparing for spring. um and the europeans now want to beg ukraine in the ukraine government and ukranian army to be ready to defend the country in sending his country's tanks to ukraine. olaf

shots has done something. no other democratic chancellor here has done allow another country to use german tanks to fight russians in a war in europe. and so while schultz is stated, goal is to prevent an escalation between russia and nato. it may not be too long before the heavy weapons of both sides are in use against each other. in ukraine, dominic came al jazeera, berlin, and ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has held their decision by the us and jem need to send the tanks as an historic achievement. sheila young upon cancel, pushing myself. i thank mister chancellor, old german politicians and public figures for their willingness to strengthen the defense of europe side. this is also a very powerful step by the united states. ukraine will receive abrams. thank you for this decision. yeah, i thank mister president biden. personally. i thank congress, i thank every american family for the tangible strength of american global

leadership glue to lead beschler lackey. now as speed and volume, the speed of training our military, that speed of supplying tanks to ukraine or the amount of tank support we have to form a fist of tanks, a fist of freedom, which will not allow tyranny to rise again. in moscow, the kremlin has dismissed a plan as absurd spokesmen. dmitri prescott says keith allies are overestimating the benefits of sending things to ukraine's armed forces. you should know the blue change, just touch no books. just japan kept good. good to me. so you can go to be sure to diligence and that the h you, i'd be, you've given a peacekeeping pledges, committee conscripts you best at me on what you mean. but meanwhile, on the front line, ukrainian forces have withdrawn from the town of solid in the east and done yet.
