This is political cowardice on the part of the Biden administration, in my view.
Another possibility might be to have a certain cohesion in military material. Maybe they don’t want a Ukrainian army with 20 different types of assault tanks which have all a different way of working and require a different type of training + logistical support. SO it looks like it will be Leopards instead of Abrams Thanks.
