But speaking frankly, the number of tanks and the delivery time to Ukraine is critical,&#8221; the President noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On February 24, 2022, the world awoke to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian forces made advances in the first months on hostilities, but Ukrainians, upon receiving military aid, changed the situation on the ground re-taking large swaths from the Russian forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Lazghine Ya\u2019qoube&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Joe Biden approves to
