The Pentagon plans to send older, refurbished Abrams tanks to Ukraine by fall, far sooner than expected.
WASHINGTON — The United States will send M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine far more quickly than expected, with a number of them now scheduled to arrive later this year, the Pentagon said in a briefing to reporters.
The tanks will come from the U.S. military’s existing inventory of older M1A1 Abrams and will be renovated before shipment to Kyiv, which is expected to take several months. The U.S. military announced in January that Ukraine would receive approximately 30 newer M1A2 Abrams tanks, but they were expected to take a year or more to be made and delivered.
The new plan will take excess M1A1 tank “hulls” and refit and refurbish them in order to make them ready on a quicker timeline for Ukraine, Brig. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said on Tuesday afternoon, noting that the plan came from an Army study that had analyzed different ways to get American tanks to Ukraine even faster.
“Based on that further study and analysis, this is the approach that we landed on, that we feel confident will get these tanks to them by the fall time frame,” General Ryder said.
The Abrams will give the Ukrainians a “significant main battle tank capability on the battlefield,” he added, and said that Ukrainian soldiers will receive all necessary training on them before their delivery.

House foreign affairs chair announces oversight hearing on US aid to Ukraine
From CNN's Jennifer Hansler
Mike McCaul, the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will hold a hearing next Wednesday on “Oversight, Transparency, and Accountability of Ukraine Assistance,” the committee announced Wednesday.
The acting inspector generals from the State Department, Defense Department and the US Agency for International Development are slated to testify.
The billions of dollars in US assistance to Ukraine were expected to come under increased scrutiny by the Republican-led House.
The inspectors general have not announced any instances of misuse of US provided funds or weapons. There are dozens of ongoing projects from the Office of Inspector General related to oversight of US assistance to Ukraine.
Some background: On Monday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the 34th drawdown of arms and equipment for Ukraine valued at $350 million. The US has committed more than $32 billion in Presidential Drawdown funds to aid Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began more than one year ago.

Blinken says China has not ‘crossed line’ on lethal aid to Russia
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that while China’s political and material support for Russia goes against US interest, Beijing has not provided substantial “lethal aid” to Moscow.“As we speak today, we have not seen them cross that line,” Blinken said in response to a question at a Senate sub-committee hearing.
Blinken has publicly warned for weeks that China is considering Russian requests for weapons to fight in Ukraine. He spoke after Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow this week to push a proposal for a ceasefire in the war that has been met with scepticism by Washington.
Blinken added that Asia, and China in particular, are looking at the Russian invasion “very carefully. They will draw lessons from how the world comes together or doesn’t, to stand up to this aggression.”

[emoji298]️Ukraine's strategic arms and military equipment manufacturer Ukroboronprom shipped to the Armed Forces the first batch of domestic 122mm shells, which it produced abroad.
Such shells are used in D-30 howitzers (maximum range - 15.4 km) and 2C1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems (15.2 km), the state-owned concern reported.

Hawa waliokuwa wanalazimisha kila taifa liwe upande wao kwenye huu mgogoro wa Ukraine,? USA wameanza kuchanganyikiwaChina and Russia don't have 'power' of United States, White House says
US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby has been speaking at a White House news conference in the last hour, during which he was asked about the extent to which China and Russia were challenging the global influence of the US.
"No other nation in the world, none, has the network of alliances and partnerships that the US has," he said.
He went on to reference the 10th Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting hosted by the US, each one of which he said had been attended by representatives of more than 50 nations.
"That's the power of American convening leadership. And you don't see that power out of Russia and China," he said.
"These are two countries who do not have that same network of friends and partners.
"And one of the reasons why you're seeing that tightening relationship [between China and Russia] is because they recognise that they don't have that strong foundation of international support for what they're trying to do, which is basically challenge American leadership around the world."
Mr Kirby also told reporters that China was still considering providing lethal aid to Russia.
He urged Mr Xi to speak to Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the impact of the war on Ukraine.
"We encourage President Xi to press President Putin directly on the need to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The world and China's neighbours will certainly be watching closely," he said.
The Chinese and Russian leaders seemed to be connected in "a bit of a marriage of convenience" rather than one of affection, Mr Kirby said.
"These are two countries that have long chafed at US leadership around the world," he said.
