Ukraine's Spring Offensive Hindered by Shortage of Western Weapons
TL;DR
Ukraine is preparing for its spring offensive with the help of Western allies who have delivered over 230 tanks and 1,550 armored vehicles in recent months. The US has accelerated the timeline to ship M1 Abrams tanks to train and aid Ukrainian fighters. Spain, Germany, Portugal, Poland, and Britain have also sent tanks to aid Ukraine. The influx of weapons and training is coming as Russia makes minor advances in the months-long struggle for control of the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. Russia has canceled an annual World War II commemoration over concerns that it would be used to highlight the country’s losses to Ukraine.
