Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked Western leaders for sending tanks to support the fight against Russia, but said they needed to be delivered quickly.

In recent days, the US and Germany announced they would send Abrams and Leopard tanks to Ukraine, while Berlin also cleared the way for other European countries to donate German-made tanks from their own stocks.

Russia condemned the announcement as a “blatant provocation” and said any supplied tanks would be destroyed, while missile attacks on Ukraine’s capital have continued.

President Zelensky has also urged the West to send long-range missiles and fighter jets, to assist in the war effort.
