Kyiv, Even after 11 months of the war, Ukraine has still not been able to withdraw its four states from Russia. In such a situation, to push Russia back, Ukraine has demanded a large number of state-of-the-art tanks (Advance Tanks) from its allies. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that Kyiv needed allies to decide whether to defend the country against Russia in view of the increasing aggression of the Russian military, according to a report by news agency Reuters. Will deliver modern tanks to strengthen.

At the same time, in view of Ukraine’s demand for modern tanks, America and Germany have indicated to send some of their tanks. According to the report, Germany will send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, while the United States can supply Abrams tanks. However, Zelensky said that the issue is not about 5, 10 or 15 tanks, as Ukraine’s needs are greater. Zelensky said in his nightly video address that this discussion of tank needs should end with decisions.

A decision has to be taken on the real strengthening of Ukraine’s defense against Russia. He told that the allies have the required number of tanks. Significantly, since the start of the war, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been refraining from taking such major decisions which can motivate Russia to intensify the war. Germany believes that such steps can bring NATO’s confrontation with Russia closer.

Ukraine is also demanding the tank because it believes that Russia is making new plans to attack with aggression, signs of which are already visible in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Zelensky pointed out that Russian forces had already made advances at Bakhmut and Vuhledar and elsewhere. Fighting around the eastern city of Bakhmut has intensified in recent weeks, with Russia claiming several successes in its campaign there.
