Biden to Sign Decision on Supplying Abrams Tanks to Ukraine Today

U.S. President Joe Biden will announce the decision to supply Abrams tanks to Ukraine on January 25, according to the American president's administration, as reported by Reuters.

One of the sources stated that the tanks will be acquired through a fund known as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which allows the White House to provide weapons from the industry instead of from existing stockpiles. It is likely that the Biden administration is using the fund's mechanism to purchase the Abrams tanks from allies, refurbish them, and then send them to Ukraine. The process of transporting the tanks could take months or even years, Reuters notes.
