Explained | The next leg of the Russia-Ukraine war

The Hindu  

January 25, 2023 10:48 pm | Updated February 03, 2023 04:45 pm IST The story so far: As Russia’s Ukraine invasion enters its 12th month, all sides are gearing up for a major escalation in the conflict. Earlier this month, London announced that it would provide 14 Challenger 2 battle tanks to Kyiv, while France said it would ship AMX-10RC armoured vehicles, known as the tank killer, to Ukraine. But Chancellor Olaf Scholz initially refused to send tanks to Ukraine, saying such a move would escalate the conflict further, which was not in Berlin’s interest. On Wednesday, Germany announced that it would send 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv and allow other NATO members to re-export German-made tanks to Ukraine. The lack of advanced tanks could put Kyiv in a disadvantageous position in Ukraine’s open terrain, especially when Russia has deployed its modern T-90s.
