The United States of America has transferred M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.

Here's What We Know

The information was shared by the VOA edition, referring to the words of Colonel and speaker of the U.S. Army in Europe and Africa Martin O'Donnell. We are talking about 31 combat vehicles. In addition, the AFU received ammunition for tanks and spare parts for repair of equipment. By the way, according to the US military, M1 Abrams tanks are unlikely to appear on the battlefield in the near future. The AFU must first make sure that they have the necessary support elements. As well as decide exactly where and how to use the combat vehicles.
