The U.S. will send 31 M1 Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine, President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday, reversing months of persistent arguments by his administration that the tanks were too difficult for Ukrainian troops to operate and maintain.

The U.S. decision came on the heels of Germany agreeing to send 14 Leopard 2 A6 tanks from its own stocks. Germany had said the Leopards would not be sent unless the U.S. put its Abrams on the table, not wanting to incur Russia's wrath without the U.S. similarly committing its own tanks.

Ukraine has been asking for the tanks for months amid fighting in the country's disputed east, but the U.S. had resisted the calls for weeks.
