Why Germany and the US Are Stalling on Modern Tanks for Ukraine

2022.09.28

Ukraine’s allies have held talks at various levels in recent weeks on whether to

send NATO-standard battle tanks -- such as Abrams and Leopards -- to Ukraine,

but even as Kyiv’s calls for such weapons come with greater urgency, no decision

has been taken, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing sensitive matters.

Providing Kyiv with modern battle tanks would necessitate long-term training,

maintenance and support, a US State Department spokesperson said.

“The longer the war takes, the more empty our Soviet tanks stockpile will be and

there will be that moment where we need to either deliver western-designed tanks

to Ukraine or basically throw them under the bus. It’s a matter of time,”said Jana

Puglierin, head of the European Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin.

Given it takes around four months to train soldiers on the tanks, it is better to

start now before the Soviet tanks completely run out, she said.
