US expedites delivery of tanks and missile systems to Ukraine.

The US is set to deploy Patriot missile defense systems and Abrams tanks to Ukraine faster than originally planned, with 65 Ukrainian soldiers completing their training on the systems at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in the coming days. The decision to speed up the delivery of tanks and Patriots comes as Ukraine is preparing to launch a spring offensive against Russian forces, built largely around the more powerful and more advanced systems Western countries have agreed to send, including tanks and other armored vehicles.
