i unleash my long violet pass and read. imagine galleys teachings for relevance to. ah, gandhi's legacy starts january 20th on d, w. ah, this is, these are the news live from birth and battle times about heading for ukraine from both sides of the atlantic. president, by did analysis, the us will deliver 31 of the powerful abrams tanks to the bathroom field. and ours, earlier, german chancellor left shoulder confirms that berlin will send it to tax,

also coming up a deadly cold snap sweeps across asia from afghanistan to japan, sub 0 temperatures and heavy snow opposing tales with millions and in mistake. a football osmond broke the deadlock at the last minute and come away with 3 crucial points and then knocked away at my awe i'm available. hm. it, welcome to the program. western made battle tanks will soon be facing off against russian armor on the battlefield in ukraine. that's off the u. s. president joe biden announced his country will give em one abrams tanks to ukraine. or earlier, germany also gave the go ahead to give its leopard 2 tanks to be sent to ukraine.

it else wins, mark a coordinated moved to provide the country with model battle tanks, head of a potential offensive. the spring cave has called it a historic day. after days of diplomatic wrangling to big announcements from either side of the atlantic to day to day, i am announcing at the united states will be sending 31 abram tags to ukraine. the equivalent of one ukrainian battalion secretary austin has recommended to step because on has ukraine's capacity and had finished her turn achieve strategic objectives. the u. s. president statement came just hours after germany announced it. we're deliver 14 of its leopard to battle tanks to ukraine. does this, does a given us, this is the result of renewed and intense consultations with our allies and international partners as our, we'd like to underline that it was right. and it is right that we didn't let

ourselves be forced into action. now that we instead counted and will continue to count on close corporation on these issues, international pressure had been growing and germany to agree to send leopard to tangs to ukraine or to at least lift an export ban on the jam and may tanks or other countries could supply them that last week and meeting of defense leaders from more than 50 countries at ramstein, airbase and germany failed to produce any agreements chance loan of shows was unwilling to send german tanks. unless the u. s. made a similar commitment that diplomatic gamble seemingly paid off the agreement to supply the tanks as a huge political turnaround for germany. and it's a major boost for ukraine. western battle tanks like the leopard and the abraham's or what ukrainian president followed amir zalinski has long been pleading for and

many say they could be a game changer in the war. you see, i am grateful to all our allies of our willingness to provide us with modern and much needed tanks. always proofs for most important fat for a while to day. for fat, for freedom is only getting stronger. and the way we are all working together to strengthen freedom to defend ukraine in europe, is a historic achievement of a part of a leaders who are working on it right now. as ask that zalinski also stressed that speed as now key. while the 1st leopard tangs could arrive in ukraine and the next 2 to 3 months, the white house has already said that it will likely be many more months before it's abrams tanks will arrive at the front. tire crane has been waiting for this decision for about 10 months. so was there a sigh of relief in give?

beer to day. so there's a lot, so for expressions of gratitude for this final decision, and a lot of hope that this might really change or the fate or, or on the ground in the battlefield. so it's been almost a year since rushes invasion of ukraine. now are jacks left behind by retreating. russian soldiers are being put on display from weapons and books to cans of food. doubly is sonya folly car has this report yearly. know what the ankle has been receiving some unusual parcels with her. this belong to a russian shoulder unless it smells terrible. it separates and this is the glove of a russian pilot. she regularly takes it to ukrainian soldiers on the front lights. in return, they've started to send her objects that russian troops had left behind them. jolena herself visited a school and cut to
