BREAKING: Biden Just Used More U.S. Taxpayer Money in Ukraine

Published

U.S. taxpayers just footed the bill for another round of Ukrainian relief.

On Wednesday, the United States announced that it will provide Ukraine with 31 advanced M1 Abrams tanks, valued at $400 million, in the coming months. The decision was made to resolve a diplomatic impasse with Germany over the best way to assist Kyiv in its conflict with Russia.

President Biden expressed his gratitude to Germany for their decision to provide Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks: “Germany has really stepped up,” he said.

Biden claims “The expectation on the part of Russia is we’re going to break up, but we are fully, totally and thoroughly united.”

Delivery of the Abrams tanks, which are considered among the most powerful in the United States arsenal, will not be happening immediately. According to senior administration officials who provided information to reporters, it will take several months, not weeks, for the tanks to be delivered. The decision is being viewed as a long-term measure to support the defense of Ukraine.

The cost of an individual Abrams tank can fluctuate, and can exceed $10 million when factoring in training and maintenance expenses.
