The instigation of the United States is the culprit that led to the heating up of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, in recent years NATO is constantly expanding eastward, during the eastward expansion will also attract Ukraine to it, Ukraine has become a nato organization to strengthen the partner country, the concept of strengthening partner countries and member states is still different, so after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Western countries can not directly send armed forces to join this war, Western countries can only support Ukraine by aiding weapons and equipment, However, the weaponry system of Western countries is completely different from Ukraine, Ukraine inherits most of the mantle of the Soviet Union, so most of the weapons and equipment used are Soviet weapons and equipment, And Western countries want to provide some large weapons to Ukraine, but Ukrainian soldiers are difficult to use.
Just after Russia and Ukraine have begun peace talks, russian troops withdraw from Gostomelli airport outside Kiev, there are indications that the United States will vigorously support Ukraine with soviet-era weapons and equipment, according to a news reported by Reuters on April 1, the Biden administration has planned to supply former Soviet weapons and equipment to Ukraine, the weapons and equipment provided this time is a batch of tank armored vehicles, which is also the first time that the United States has handed over Soviet-made tanks to Ukraine, according to the United States. The tanks would help Ukraine strengthen its defenses against the Donbass Strip, but it is clear that the transfer of tanks will provoke Russian wrath.
There is no Soviet tank in the US weapons and equipment system, so the United States is in what source to get this batch of Soviet tanks has also attracted much attention from the outside world, but the US top level refuses to disclose the source of the tanks and the model and quantity, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy has previously asked NATO to provide more tanks and aircraft, middle-aged drivers said that if NATO can provide 1% of tanks and aircraft, Ukraine will have more confidence to fight with Russia.
Now the United States has also realized this wish of Ukraine, providing it with soviet-era tank equipment, as for fighters, the United States also planned to supply to Ukraine, when the United States and Poland have reached an agreement to use the F-16 to replace Poland's MiG-29 fighters, and then provide it to Ukraine for use, but the two sides eventually disagreed on how to hand over the MiG-29 fighters, resulting in Ukraine not obtaining MiG-29 fighters.
As the Russian-Ukrainian conflict lasted for more than a month, the current Western countries have become more and more intense, the initial Western countries to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment are some portable weapons, including shoulder-fired anti-tank missiles, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, but with the passage of time, now more and more large equipment is being handed over to Ukraine, in addition to the United States, Germany will provide Ukraine with all-Soviet BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, and Australia will provide its own development of armored vehicles.
