TheVoiceOfJoyce Day 334, Ukrainians insist they need th Leopard Tanks to dislodge Russian troops from Donetsk.

Ukraine’s western allies would need to supply “several hundred” tanks in order for Kyiv to conduct a counteroffensive against Russian forces to retake occupied territory, according to Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Yermak posted to Telegram:

We need tanks – not 10-20, but several hundred. Our goal is [restoring] the borders of 1991 and punishing the enemy, who will pay for their crimes.
