All said, the West is continuing to pour more and lethal weapons into Ukraine. "The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it will send 31 of its premier battle tanks to Ukraine, following agreement with Germany to deliver scores of its Leopard 2 tanks from across Europe. The decisions end months of debate among Western allies and pave the way for a major shift in the balance of power on the Ukrainian battlefield," the Washington Post reported this week. The report added: President Biden said after morning calls with European leaders that the decisions belied Russian President Vladimir Putin’s belief that the West would eventually tire of its commitment to Ukraine and “break up” their coalition. “We are fully, totally and completely united,” Biden said during a brief address at the White House. “Today’s announcement builds on the hard work and commitment of countries around the world. … That’s what this is about — helping Ukraine defend and protect Ukrainian land.” If Russian troops “return to Russia … where they belong,” he said, “this war will be over today.” That said, the West has been anything but united over the past several weeks, as U.S. frustrations grew with its NATO allies over their reluctance to step up and provide better aid to Ukraine after American taxpayers have spent tens of billions in terms of monetary aid and military assistance over the past 11 months, often to the detriment of American war stocks. Germany continually refused to send its tanks to Ukraine or to allow other countries that had purchased the Leopard 2 tanks to do so unless the U.S. agreed to send the M1 Abrams tanks. The Defense Department had been saying for months, however, that the M1s were far too complex for transfer and use by Ukrainian forces, so it's not clear what changed.Zelensky’s former senior advisor/PR master Oleksiy Arestovych admits that Ukraine is unlikely to win against Russia. pic.twitter.com/6CcCshty4p

Biden gave some congrats to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, saying that “Germany has really stepped up.” Berlin “didn’t force me to change our mind,” he said. “We wanted to make sure we’re all together.”
The WaPo added: "In Europe, the goal is to quickly assemble two Leopard tank battalions — equivalent to at least 70 tanks. As a first step, Germany will provide a company of 14 Leopard 2 A6 tanks from its army’s stocks, the government in Berlin said in a statement. European allies will also provide tanks with German approval. Germany’s Ministry of Defense said it aims for the tanks to be on the battlefield by the end of March. That leaves a tight window for logistics and training — which is expected to begin within days."
We are inching ever closer to World War III, which is something that no one should want.
