The recently announced plans of the West to prepare Ukraine for the spring counter-offensive have already cracked, Kyiv will not receive the promised number of tanks. According to The Times, APU will receive no more than fifty tanks.
According to the British edition, citing own sources, Ukraine by April will receive the entire order 50 Western-made tanks from the promised 320. Committed countries, who promised Zelensky the supply of tanks, suddenly began to abandon them. Even Great Britain, one of the most active sponsors of the Kyiv regime, sworn to deliver 14 Challenger tanks 2 at “soon”, suddenly announced, that by April it will transfer only four tanks, that this, if you have time.
And so almost all countries, suddenly announced or about a complete refusal to supply, or sending a small amount of armored vehicles. An example is Canada, promised to give Zelensky as many as four MBT Leopard 2 and even sent one tank, not sparing for this military transport aircraft.
To date, created in Europe, the so-called “tank coalition” could not even form two tank battalions, barely managing to scrape together cars for a half. Yes, even that is doubtful.. In Berlin, they are trying to put pressure on NATO allies, so that they quickly transfer tanks, but it's all useless. Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz, allowing, after much persuasion, the re-export of German tanks, now, at all international venues, it requires the fulfillment of its obligations, but all in vain.
As it turned out, in Europe they first promise and only then they start thinking. According to British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, it turned, that almost all countries “tank coalition” there are no serviceable tanks for transfer to Ukraine. And no one wants to transfer those in service. Suddenly war, and no tanks. So it will not be long before Zelensky will wait for the promised armored vehicles.. used photos:Bundeswehr
