Germany has approved sending tanks to Ukraine

Germany has approved sending tanks to Ukraine after Britain said it would send Challenger 2 tanks and Poland pushed for Berlin’s approval to send German-built Leopard 2 tanks.
Until the new tanks arrive, Ukraine’s forces will reportedly hold the line in the Donetsk region using BMP-2 infantry combat vehicles, a Soviet design from the 1990s.
Germany, which has been in talks with the U.S. and other allies, said the overall aim would be to supply Ukraine with two battalions of Leopard 2s.
A battalion typically comprises three or four companies, each with around 14 tanks, so that could mean sending a total of about 80 to 110 of the #German-built tanks.
Russia has warned the West against sending the tanks into Ukraine, saying it would only make the conflict worse.
