Ramstein countries deliver over 230 tanks to Ukraine - Pentagon Chief

Member countries of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group have provided the Ukrainian Armed Forces with more than 230 tanks and thousands of other military equipment and ammunition.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said this following the results of the 11th meeting of the Ramstein format, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Now, just in few short months, the Contact Group has delivered more than 230 tanks, more than 1550 armoured vehicles and other equipment and munitions to support more than nine new armoured brigades", Austin said.

He also emphasized that, in particular, the United States has speeded up the delivery of Abrams tanks to Ukraine. That helps to provide more armored vehicles to the country in the coming months.
