Ukraine news latest — Putin ‘throwing’ thousands of Russian soldiers ‘into a meat grinder’ as part of sick new offensive

President Zelensky talks about tanks

Germany and the US will be sending over tanks to help Ukraine combat Russian aggression and Zelensky thanked them along with Britain for they help during his Sky interview.

He said: “We need 300 or 500 tanks now. That’s why I believe that we need tanks to carry out an offensive on our territory, on our land. We need armoured vehicles to protect our people, that’s all.

“I am very happy and I would like to thank Germany, thank Britain, and thank the United States that they made such decisions. Overall I am grateful to the world for their support of Ukraine.

“But if we are talking frankly and honestly with you, the number of tanks and delivery time are of crucial and critical importance, in comparison to the decision that has been made. We have approved cases of weapons to be sent to us, but we still haven’t received them.

“Sometimes the delivery of the weapons takes months, you understand? I don’t blame anyone, but, in response to your question, a sense of relief comes only after the weapons, which our partners give us, are already being used by our army.”
