According to the outlet, the initiative was put forward by the chairman of the parliamentary defense select committee, Tobias Ellwood.<\/p>\n

The politician believes that Western governments have demonstrated a lack of strategic foresight in their steps to support Ukraine, and this must now be rectified.<\/p>\n

Ellwood noted that the decision to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Western tanks was the right one, but organizing supply chains for the different parts and ammunition may be unsustainable.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just not feasible in the long term,\u201d the Conservative MP explained, noting that an arms factory in Poland could help make the Ukrainian army more independent.<\/p>\n

\u201cTanks today, yes. But we need a strategy to make sure Ukraine can defend itself […] so they can procure their own equipment to their own specification, probably NATO standard, and have a constantly protected supply chain.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. announced that it would transferring a number of Abrams M1 main battle tanks to Ukraine on Jan. 25.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will also receive German Leopard 2 tanks from a variety of countries, as well as British Challenger 2 tanks.<\/p>\n

As of today, 73 modern Western tanks have been confirmed for delivery\u00a0to Ukraine:<\/p>\n
