THE TANKS ARE COMING: As Ukraine begins to mass its forces for a drive to push Russian forces back, German and British main battle tanks have arrived in the country to spearhead the coming counteroffensive.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the 18 top-of-the-line Leopard 2 tanks will “make a decisive contribution” on the front lines of the war. The British Defense Ministry said Ukrainian tank crews have completed training on Challenger 2 tanks in the U.K. and have returned home, along with their 14 new tanks.
