The United States has delivered 31 Abrams main battle tanks to Germany, which will be used for training Ukrainian military personnel, U.S. Defense Department spokesman Patrick Ryder said at a press briefing on May 15.

"I can confirm that 31 M1 Abrams tanks have arrived in Germany," Ryder said.

According to him, they will be used to prepare for further training of Ukrainian tank crews.

The Pentagon representative added that Ukrainian military personnel, according to U.S. estimates, will arrive for training in the next few weeks.

Ryder clarified that these tanks will be used exclusively for training purposes, and will not end up on the front lines in Ukraine later this year.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
