Background Press Call by Senior Administration Officials on U.S. Support to Ukraine

Excerpt (Senior Administration Official):  “Number one, today’s announcement that the U.S. is going to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine is very much a continuation of our effort to provide Ukraine with the capabilities that they need to continue to better defend themselves and also, in keeping with that, representative of a long-term — long-term commitment that we have to Ukraine’s defense needs. And I know [senior administration official] will have more to say on that.”
