President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that the United States will be sending 31 advanced tanks to Ukraine, in an effort to unlock similar moves all over Europe. This decision was made after Secretary of State Antony Blinken presented potential solutions to the issue, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had argued for weeks that it did not make sense for the U.S. to send the tanks. The tanks are expected to arrive in Ukraine in the coming weeks, and will help them punch through entrenched Russian lines and fuel an advance on Russia’s land bridge to annexed Crimea.
